Is your relationship struggling with issues such as communication? Infidelity? Conflicts? Intimacy issues? Are you seeking pre-marital counseling to address potential challenges before marriage? Are you struggling to support your spouse/partner with their mental health struggles? 

In couples counseling, my approach is integrative, drawing on the principles of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and the Gottman Method. Emotion-Focused Therapy allows us to explore and understand the emotional dynamics within the relationship, emphasizing the role of emotions in communication and connection. Attachment Theory guides our exploration of how early attachment patterns influence current relationship dynamics, helping couples identify and address attachment needs. The Gottman Method adds a practical and evidence-based dimension, incorporating techniques to improve communication, manage conflicts, and foster a deeper understanding of each other's needs. By combining these approaches, we create a comprehensive framework that not only addresses surface-level issues but also delves into the emotional undercurrents and attachment bonds that shape the couple's interactions. My goal is to provide a supportive and transformative space where couples can cultivate a secure emotional connection and develop the skills needed for a thriving, resilient partnership.

In our couples counseling sessions, we prioritize providing a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience. The initial session is extended to an hour and a half to allow ample time for introductions, understanding the couple's history, and establishing therapeutic goals. This longer duration enables a more in-depth exploration of the issues at hand. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for 55 minutes, allowing for focused discussions and practical interventions while respecting busy schedules. We find that this combination strikes a balance between thorough exploration and practicality. We believe in creating a supportive and structured environment where couples can openly communicate, address challenges, and work collaboratively towards building a healthier and more fulfilling relationship.
