Factors of everyday life, communication barriers, or individual past histories can place strain on a relationship. When relational challenges are ongoing, partners may feel helpless, abandoned, or have feelings of guilt or shame. Understanding your partners' deepest emotions and attachment needs, holding space to listen and validate each other, and building communication skills with your partners effectively helps increase emotional intimacy and satisfy our innate longing for connection.
Partners may seek therapy to strengthen an already secure relationship, to repair intimate bonds and overcome challenges together, to discern whether to continue the relationship, or to begin the process of separating amicably.
Therapeutic approaches we may utilize in our work together, personalized to meet your specific needs and goals:
- Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
- Gottman Method
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Existential Therapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Referral for Individual Therapy
Our therapeutic approach is culturally responsive and trauma-informed. We are an inclusive practice supporting intimate relationships and affirming the diversity of partnered experiences.
