“Maybe the poets are right. Maybe love is the only answer. - Woody Allen”
Intimate relationships can be difficult. This is because we are all different and we all bring to the table our set of expectations and hurts from the past. Different stages of the relationship, from courtship to the golden years, bring a different set of joys and issues. Feeling stuck or ambivalent in your relationship can have a big impact on our physical and emotional well being and on the relationship itself.
Couples therapy will help you become more aware of your own needs and desires as well as your partner's and will allow you to better communicate them to your partner. When working with couples I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, a very effective approach that helps partners become more attuned to each other and break the negative cycles of conflict and emotional distance within the couple.
I work with couples of all ages, sexual orientation, race, culture, religion, and socioeconomic status.
