I enjoy working with couples during various stages in their relationships, but I particularly like helping couples to improve communication, enhance trust, and re-establish a friendship that has often times been lost in the busyness of daily life. Additionally, I also recognize that some couples may want to utilize therapy to maintain, or improve on, an already strong relationship. These couples may be interested in thoughtfully preparing for a milestone in their relationship like moving in together, getting married, or planning for children. I am happy to help couples navigate these life transitions as well.
I am sensitive to the fact that it can be particularly difficult for couples to share their relationship troubles with someone outside of their relationship. Despite the fact that couples therapy can initially feel uncomfortable, for some, I find that the couples I see will often end up looking forward to sessions. During couples therapy sessions, I focus on offering a neutral space where each partner can share what is on their minds, and I offer support and practical tools for planning for the future and moving beyond various relationship issues.
