In my approach to couples therapy, I utilize my extensitve training in EFT (emotionally-focused couples therapy), as well as my years of experience and training in working with the unconscious. Primarily I support each partner in understanding and holding compassion for the experience of the other, while remaining true to one’s own needs and experience. Without the ability to understand and describe what things are like for my partner, it will be difficult to have strong communication, conflict resolutions that lead to growth, and a joyful partnership.

With EFT Couples Therapy, I utilize therapeutic techniques that slow the process down so we can think more clearly and distill the most important needs and feelings, as well as the historical and unconscious messages the feelings are steeped in. For clients who are interested, I also utilize somatic exploration to explore how those emotions and historical events are felt in the body. Through successful EFT Therapy, we feel clearer about how we can discuss our needs and attachment experiences safely while also working to fulfill the needs of our partner in an evolving relationship -- breaking hidden barriers and moving into greater states of fulfillment.
