working with couples

Couples come to therapy being vulnerable and hurt. Together we build a space that is both tender and courageous, gently meeting the wounds while openly looking at the conflicts. I feel honored to be with you in this delicate journey, holding hope, sincerity and empathy.

Through the principles of awareness, curiosity, and choice, we identify recurring patterns in the couple’s dynamic and explore areas where they feel stuck. We examine attachment styles, as well as the tension between the need for connection vs the desire for autonomy. We track negative cycles, look at how boundaries are held, and unpack expectations, triggers, preferences, and the impact of past experiences.

Our work also includes exploring communication styles, intimacy challenges, family influences, and differences in core values.

Relationship can become a powerful space for healing each other’s childhood wounds. At the same time, this process asks each partner to take responsibility for their own growth, develop realistic expectations, and cultivate a sense of personal accountability for their own well-being.

To deepen the process, we may include individual sessions alongside couple work. These provide space to explore personal themes that may not fully emerge in joint sessions, supporting greater clarity and integration within the relationship.
