Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is a form of psychotherapy that can help you and your partner improve your relationship. It addresses a wide range of relationship concerns including recurring conflicts, feelings of disconnection, infidelity, issues related to intimacy and sex, concerns about finances, major life transitions, or challenges informed by external or internal stressors.
As a trauma and embodiment specialist, I work from an integrative and holistic framework that honors how past traumatic experiences may be impacting your ability to connect with your partner or with the full potential of your intimate relationship. Due to the interconnectedness of trauma and attachment/relational patterns, I always take into consideration how early bonds were created and expressed. Early caregiving relationships inform the relational patterns that continue to operate throughout life both in intimate and other relationships. When early bonds are founded on abuse, neglect, abandonment, rejection, and general adversity, relational instability tends to become a theme throughout the lifespan. Survival strategies that started as adaptive efforts to ensure safety and belonging become maladaptive and repetitive, often operating outside of our awareness and control, and potentially damaging even the strongest bonds.
Having worked extensively with couples, I've learned that many of life's challenges relate to our need for connection, love, intimacy, and growth. By confronting challenges as they emerge and collaborating during demanding moments, we can work through even the most difficult situations to re-energize relationships and strengthen bonds.
In my couples therapy sessions, I offer opportunities to discuss and resolve issues related to various aspects of your relationship, including but not limited to:
Relationships are complex entities and it's possible that some of the above-mentioned issues are interacting with one another and shaping your entire relationship system.
I have received advanced training in a number of couples and family therapy approaches and have extensive experience teaching the couples and family therapy course for a clinical mental health counseling graduate level program. I currently offer training and consultation for couples and family therapy to professionals across multiple industries and am a professional member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). I personalize your couples therapy experience keeping in mind your unique strengths, challenges, and needs as a couple. My integrative approach honors your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, physical experience, social-relational experience, and spirituality.
