Rediscover Connection, Heal, and Grow Together
Did you know that couples often experience overfunctioning and underfunctioning dynamics that stress out both partners and keep the same old patterns on repeat—even though they’re not working? These dynamics, while common, can lead to disconnection, frustration, blame, and emotional exhaustion for both people in the relationship.
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in Intimacy from the Inside Out, a powerful framework that combines the principles of Internal Family Systems with the unique complexities of couple dynamics. Together, we will explore the internal worlds of both partners, fostering deeper self-awareness, compassion, and the ability to connect with one another in a meaningful way.
Examine Patterns: Gain clarity about the dynamics that are keeping you stuck and learn new ways of interacting that build trust and mutual understanding.
Understand Yourself and Each Other: Discover how your individual experiences, triggers, and emotional needs impact your relationship.
Recover Safety and Connection: Rebuild the emotional safety that allows vulnerability and closeness to flourish.
Find Joy Again: Create space for laughter, ease, and shared joy in your partnership.
I work with couples who:
Feel stuck in repetitive arguments or communication breakdowns.
Struggle with disconnection or emotional distance.
Want to address lingering hurts and repair trust.
Desire deeper intimacy and understanding.
Are navigating major life transitions, parenting challenges, or external stressors that impact the relationship.
Couples counseling is a collaborative process. In our sessions, we’ll:
Explore the Patterns: Identify and understand the relational dynamics at play.
Work from the Inside Out: Using the Intimacy from the Inside Out model, we’ll focus on understanding the inner workings of each partner to strengthen the partnership as a whole.
Build New Connections: Practice communication tools and strategies to nurture trust, empathy, and connection.
Whether you’re looking to rebuild after a rough patch or strengthen an already solid foundation, couples counseling offers the tools and support to help your relationship thrive.
