Couples Therapy
This one is about your RELATIONSHIP
In Couples Therapy the focus is less on the health of the individuals, and more about the health of the relationship. Couples Therapy can be helpful in many ways. We use it to build strong relationships, to repair troubled ones, to deepen and enrich good ones, and to separate well from ones that have , or need to, come to an end. Couples seek therapy at many different stages of their relationship, not just when things feel hopeless.
My couples therapy sessions are founded in Gottman principles and skills (see The Gotttman Institute), as well as Attachment Theory based. We spend time getting to know you as a couple, how you got together, your strengths and challenges as a couple, and your hopes and fears for your relationship. We discuss relationship dynamics, identify problem areas, and utilize evidence-based tools and interventions.
