My role in couples/relationship therapy is to help partners understand themselves and their partners better. That involves investigating many layers of the self, including:
- How partners grew up (attachment styles)
- Values (what they believe in)
- Communication skills
- Emotional literacy (understanding and taking responsibility for one’s own emotions)
- What are my and my partner’s/partners’ deepest wounds?
- What makes me and my partner(s) feel loved?
I have studied with Stan Tatkin and use PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy). I am also deeply informed by Esther Perel, IMAGO, Gottman and many couples I’ve worked with throughout the years.
The goal is to have partners feel emotionally safe with each other, as well as confident and independent enough to be their full selves in the relationship and in life.
