Do you need couple's support?
Our primary relationships are vitally important. In fact, our ability to experience genuine happiness throughout life is largely based on how well we manage the ups and downs of the relationship terrain. It's not easy though. We lead excessively busy lives AND we are deeply conditioned by enculturation and our families of origin.
Almost all of us inherit negative patterns of relating.
Consequently our closest relationships can easily become embittered and unsatisfying. If you've hit a rough spot and feel the weariness that often accompanies relationships that are not as healthy and mutually nurturing as they could be, I will help you:
clearly see the patterns that keep you stuck
learn the language of repair and connection
turn grievances into opportunities that will strengthen your relationships
NVC (Nonviolent Communication) is my foundational framework in working with couples and I also draw heavily from the work of Terry Real (Relational Life Therapy) as well as the Development Model (Drs. Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson). Other influences include The Gottman Institute, Dr. Stan Tatkin (PACT) and Esther Perel.
Graduate of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy Training under Ellyn Bader Ph.D. at The Couples Institute. (Levels 1 & 2)
Considerations:
If this is your first session with me, I recommend booking a 90 minute session to start.
If there is already a significant level of hurt and resentment and it’s challenging for you to speak freely or listen to each other without interrupting, I recommend booking 60 minute sessions for each person separately before booking a couple’s session.
