My belief is that we strengthen our relationships when we learn to truly listen to one another. My goal is to champion your relationship and help you re-connect. With couples, I relate gently, building on the strengths of the relationship while practicing new skills.
I bring warmth, compassion, directness, and humor into my work. I work very hard to remain neutral in my work with couples, always remembering that my goal is to keep you feeling emotionally safe while learning to communicate with your partner in a more effective manner. The primary model I use with couples is Imago.
For new parents: after the birth of a much loved and long awaited baby, it can be helpful for couples to have a place to re-connect and continue to focus on their romantic relationship. The addition of children to a relationship may add stressors that have not been anticipated, and can sometimes take couples by surprise. I enjoy helping couples examine these changes while strenthening the connection in the relationship.
