Do you just want to feel closer to your partner yet find yourself in another argument? Even though you love each other, do you find yourself having the same argument over and over - repeating the same unhealthy patterns that may include blame, avoidance, criticism, etc? Are you ready to try something different? I take great joy in helping clients develop healthier ways of connecting with their significant others.
Grounded in attachment theory, I work with individuals and couples to master effective dialogue skills, create safety, increase positivity, reduce negativity, and improve their ability to manage emotions when triggered.
My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, empathy, humor, and a caring yet direct approach. I enjoy helping clients create the kind of change that makes them happier and fulfilled. I offer a free 15 minute video conference so that we can have a chance to meet each other and see if you would like to work with me.
