How did you learn to form attachments and close relationships and how does that as an adult in the present timeline influence your relationship both positively and negatively? The good news and the bad news is that relationships are emotion based, not logic based, meaning therapy may be the right place for you!

Whether you’re certain you want to stay in the relationship or need help finding clarity on separating, I teach couples communication and emotion regulation behaviors that will develop into solid patterns to create lasting change. You will learn how to map your own communication cycle and balance the relationship between self and partner.

Conflict is normal and healthy in relationships when you learn to do it the right way. My focus with couples is to identify their current negative interaction cycle, identify specific trauma driven behaviors that are problematic and must change, and replace those behaviors with evidence based healthier ones. I like to integrate this approach with elements like journaling, music, parts work, and face-to-face dialogue with touch and turning towards each other to expose and deconstruct communication issues.
