Couple and Family Therapy

Our therapists can help you and your partner resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and foster a healthier relationship.

My approach to couples and family therapy is grounded in respect for the healing and growth that relationships make possible. Relationships often bring out our vulnerabilities and unhealed wounds, which can create difficult patterns. With thoughtful guidance, those struggles can also become opportunities for greater self-awareness and stronger connections with partners and family members.

​

Unlike individual therapy, couples and family work focuses on the interconnected nature of relationships. Each person’s actions and emotions influence the system as a whole, and understanding those dynamics can open the door to change.

​

To navigate these complexities, I draw from models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps individuals explore their own inner voices and parts. When partners or family members begin to recognize these dynamics in themselves and each other, it often creates space for more empathy and compassion.

​

I also emphasize attachment principles, supporting couples and families in building secure connections that foster safety and belonging. Without that sense of security, it’s easy for people to withdraw or become overly dependent, leading to cycles of conflict or disconnection.

​

Blended families, whether through adoption, remarriage, or major life transitions, often face unique challenges. Therapy can provide guidance in navigating those situations and in creating healthy, fulfilling bonds among all members. I also use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples and families recognize the emotional patterns that fuel conflict. By bringing those deeper narratives into the open, we can interrupt harmful cycles and build healthier, more supportive ways of relating.
