Therapist Overview
Many of us desire to be close enough to our partner that we can risk sharing our deepest vulnerabilities or difficulties and trust that we will receive the acceptance and understanding we need in return. This is not always easy to create with a partner. You might be having the same fight over and over again, where intentions are misunderstood, or frustration gets the best of you and you push each other away or increase the conflict. Past experience tells you not to open up, you know how it will end, and things build up. Over time, you get protective, and your connection attempts come with an edge of defensiveness or resentment. Fractures of trust, substance use, or sexual issues can make things feel more raw and hard to repair. I help couples deal with repetitive arguments in a way breaks the cycle, communicating in softer and more accessible ways, and being more responsive to each other’s needs. I work with communication, trust, conflict, shutting down, and emotional intimacy. I also work with individuals to reconnect within, heal past hurts, make sense of emotions or actions, build emotion regulation skills, understand relationship patterns, and deepen self-worth.
