Couples/Family Therapy

I have a great passion for couples and family therapy! It is crucial for us to get underneath the emotion of anger and figure out what is really going on (fear, pain, hurt, shame, feelings of rejection, etc). Once we get to the core feelings we can do work. I incorporate communication skills, homework assignments, practicing techniques learned in session at home, and intimacy building exercises. When you love and care for someone deeply, emotions and reactions run high making it difficult to see things clearly. Having an objective third party (me) helps to navigate and translate motivations, thoughts, perceptions, and feelings. I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
