Relief from the isolation of trying to figure it out yourselves.

Couples go into partnership with good intention. Over time and given numerous complicating factors, some of that good intention can become harder to access. Negative patterns develop, communication can become unproductive, and fewer conflicts resolve peacefully. 

Together, we will locate strengths and identify challenges. I remain focused on those strengths as we develop conflict resolution strategies and build communication skills that suit the couple today.

I am a Level 2 trained Gottman Couples Therapist and I use strategies from that orientation as a guide and a tool where it feels like a great resource for that specific couple. I also call on information from each person's history, their attachment orientation, and patterns that may pre-date the partnership. I look for good intention and I support compassion where it is available.
