Couples Therapy

In today’s stressful world, couples face extraordinary challenges with limited support and need professional guidance.  In all long-term relationships, there can be ingrained patterns and dynamics that are problematic and can leave partners feeling discouraged and frustrated.  However, with some external assistance, couples can find their way forward.

I work with couples collaboratively to learn where they get stuck and teach practical tools to help couples to get unstuck.  I have been trained extensively in several type of approaches that I incorporate into my work with couples including:  Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT).  Utilizing an Attachment and developmental neuroscience approach, I integrate the most helpful aspects of these models tailored to the specific needs of the couple.
