We are social creatures, formed and transformed by our relationships with others from the moment we are born. We need human connection for survival, which means the stakes in our relationships can feel very high and the pain of disconnection and rejection can feel so threatening and painful.

 

The work of couples therapy has the potential to help you change how you express and receive love. Further, couples therapy can help you and your partner deescalate conflicts, improve communication skills, have a more satisfying sex life, heal old wounds, build trust, and experience deeper intimacy.

 

As a couples therapist, I will work with you and your partner to build a safe space to share openly with each other while dismantling old structures to create something new and supportive. This is done through helping each of you build awareness of your inner experience and how this influences your patterns of interaction as a couple. From this awareness comes the opportunity to find new ways of being together.

• Communication problems

• Sexual problems

• Infidelity

• Bi-cultural and Bi-racial differences

• Premarital

• Codependency
