Building a loving and healthy relationship can be one of life’s biggest challenges. We can work together towards this by:
Examining what each of you needs to feel more passionate and connected in your relationship.
Exploring how each of you can be stronger and more resilient within the relationship.
I help couples with a wide variety of challenges and specialize in:
Managing Conflicts: Disagreements occur in all relationships it’s how you deal with them that really matters. Learn to manage your conflicts respectfully, develop boundaries around arguing and develop conflict negotiation skills.
Improving communication: Learn to recognize and change unhealthy communication patterns, improve listening skills, improve self-expression of needs and decrease misunderstandings that can lead to conflict.
Divorce, separation, break-up: Therapy can help you say goodbye and have closure during this very difficult time, develop a plan around leaving, learn how to talk with your children about this change and develop a plan to co-parent.
Infidelity: Affairs are often a symptom in a relationship in which one or both partners are unhappy. Learn to talk about and work through the pain of the affair and begin to build trust. Explore what was happening in the relationship prior to the affair and learn new ways of getting unmet emotional needs met.
Grief and loss: Issues of death and dying, infertility, chronic illness, divorce, separation, lost dreams/desires can be devastating. Learn to talk about these issues together and implement strategies to cope with overwhelming feelings.
Parenting difficulties: Learn new parenting techniques, explore values and beliefs behind parenting differences to decrease conflicts and increase understanding.
Ketamine Assisted Couples Therapy: For couples who feel stuck in conventional couples therapy, light to moderate doses of ketamine, held within the bounds of a highly structured and a compassionate setting, can assist in softening defenses and opening up lines of communication between partners.
