The Human Relationship is Complex.
Healthy relationships take focus, energy and work. We bring all of our emotional baggage and past trauma to our partnerships. When we are able to understand what we bring to our partnerships, better connection and healing can begin. Your partner and you deserve a change.
Couples work is grounded in attachment and bonding theory, neuroscience, and somatic psychology.
What happens in couples therapy ?
Partner work is very powerful. You have healing for each other as well as for yourselves. Your partnership can become a true allyship. Old disruptive patterns become very apparent and new generative patterns are consciously brought into your bond.
Usually we are with a partner who has some healing and awakening for us. A partnership in crisis is a opportunity for growth.
What is your approach to couples therapy and marriage counseling?
Hakomi Psychotherapy (the somatic approach) and Depth Psychology along with personal spirituality and intuitive modalities form a powerful and unique approach to working with relationships. Couples therapy and marriage counseling are dynamic, experiential and powerful.
How do you envision a healthy partnership? What sort of partner do you want to be? What sort of support do you want from a partner?

What about surviving infidelity?
Surviving infidelity with infidelity counseling is possible. It takes work, courage, and dedication. Both partners have work to do. You both will come to understand what happened, why, and how to prevent it from ever happening again. You rebuild trust.
Through the powerful approach of couples therapy and marriage counseling, you can heal the wounds of betrayal. You and your partner can return to feeling safe, connected, and loved.
What Kinds of Couples do You Work With?
