I work with couples at various stages in their relationship – from premarital to post-retirement, thinking of having children or sending the last one out into the world.

Perhaps you and your partner find yourself mired in repetitive conflict. Perhaps you both no longer feel valued, loved or desired by the other. Perhaps there are secrets or silences that have become too heavy to bear. Perhaps there’s been infidelity, disappointment, or the loss of passion.

II can help you both to co-create a safe environment by being present with your one another’s feelings and distress without being compelled to try and “fix” it. To make space for difficult conversations, explore and share your experiences, feelings and longings, to help repair ruptures after they occur, and to walk side by side instead of cheek-to-cheek or rooms apart.

In working with couples, I always work from a trauma-informed therapeutic perspective. I am mindful that you and your partner are both bodies first and foremost, subject to the vicissitudes of trauma, life, and passage of time. At least two of you, embodied and different from one another, trying to have a shared and soulful experience in the third body of the relationship. I employ elements of sensorimotor psychotherapy, polyvagal toning, mindfulness, Jungian analysis, and a focus on attachment patterns between partners using theories and techniques from EFT, Imago- and differentiation-based couples therapy.
