Couples Therapy

When people struggle in their most primary relationship, the whole world can seem upside down. Most couples struggle with similar issues that from the inside can look larger than life but can be worked out with a little help. But sometimes there are fundamental difficulties, hurts, or barriers that seem truly insurmountable.  Couples come to see me struggling with a variety of issues from both those categories, including:

• trauma

• life transitions (parenting, career, new baby)

• infidelity, unresolved past hurts

• depression/anxiety

• lack of sexual and emotional intimacy

• chronic conflicts

• lack of communication and problem solving skills

• conflicts involving money management

Couples often become frustrated after repeated attempts to resolve issues have only worsened the dynamics between them, trapping them in a negative pattern that includes feelings of isolation and disconnectedness. I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) to help partners reduce tensions and negative interactions, build a stronger connection, and restore a sense of wellbeing in the relationship.

I am a Certified Therapist in Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am a Lifetime member of ICEEFT (International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy) and through regular trainings and supervision I remain up-to-date with developments in the method.
