Whether you're having a crisis with your spouse or partner or hoping to bolster your relationship, my first order of business is to help you communicate with each other in a productive way.
Couples I've worked with often share the same sentiment: We thought we were communicating all this time. They weren't. I help couples access and articulate the underlying feelings that have been like bricks in a wall, serving as a protective barrier from emotional and physical intimacy. I also encourage partners to put thoughts and feelings into words rather than act upon them in and out of the therapy room.
Ultimately, we work toward feeling safe enough to speak freely to one another, rewiring the lines of ongoing communication.
