Couples

Your relationship problems are likely rooted in the individual problems of two people who are “triggering” each others’ hurts and defenses. Focus us often on communication building, increasing trust, enhancing emotional intimacy & navigating sexual fulfillment.

Couple distress is the single most common reason for seeking therapy. It undermines family functioning and is strongly associated with depression, anxiety disorders, and alcoholism.

Often, men are concerned that they will be blamed if they come to therapy. This is not the case! I take a relational perspective – which in everyday language is akin to “there are two sides to every story”. This work is not about blame but creating a new possibility.

I work with the belief that underneath it all,  partners  want the relationship to work.   Often, the relationship  suffers due to a build up over time of resentments, unmet expectations and poor communication habits.  If you desire connection and have not been able to make progress, now is the best time to do something different.
