Couples Counseling

Creating and sustaining a meaningful, healthy relationship involves many elements.
Awareness. Presence. Understanding. Respect. Kindness. Flexibility. Growth. Enjoyment.

Relationships need time, attention, reflection and learning.

In my work with couples, I focus on cultivating connection and communication.
We explore how to deepen a steady, reliable bond.
We explore how to expand and improve communication - emotional, verbal and physical communication.

I use a range of approaches including family systems, the Gottman Method, attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnosis concepts and Non Violent Communication.

I focus on increasing both understanding and practice - learning and using specific skills and processes.
There is usually home work.

I really enjoy working with couples.
While it is serious work, it is also satisfying and fun.

I have helped couples navigate many things - fear, trust, commitment, finances, expectations, parenting, responsibility, intimacy, relaxation, shared meaning, decision making and more.
