Couples Therapy

Nearly every couple begins with a beautiful feeling of infatuation and discovery, and many of us get stuck somewhere between this early stage and the state of mature love. When we get stuck, we sometimes blame and shame…ourselves and our partner. I support couples by helping each of you become more settled in yourself, which creates space to accommodate your partner’s perspective. I find it helpful to embrace the Internal Family Systems mantra, "There are no bad parts,” as we explore the parts of each person’s soul/psyche and the interplay between them. I look for and foster growth in areas of strengths and compassion in each partner and the couple itself to gradually transition your pain cycle into a peace cycle.
