Couples Therapy

Are you struggling with your relationship?

-  do you often argue, criticize, or distance from each other?
-  do you push each other's emotional buttons, and react with feelings   
   of anger, hurt or resentment? 
-  do you have conflict over money, chore-sharing, emotional/sexual 
    intimacy or parenting?
-  are you an inter-cultural couple struggling to understand each other
   and the different value systems you each bring to the relationship?

Couples go through different phases in their relationship. Each partner goes through individual changes as well, which can add additional stress to the relationship.  Couples often seek help with issues of:
   .  communication                .  intimacy
   .  conflict                              .  sexual problems
   .  stress                                 .  emotional  distancing
    .  life-tranistions                      .  parenting
      or other...

Therapy with me

In my work with couples, I provide a neutral space where each partner can feel safe, heard and understood.  I assist each partner to clearly communicate what they think and feel. 
I help couples to:
   -  deepen communication, empathy and mutual understanding
   -  respond sensitively to each other's triggers and needs
   -  resolve conflict and power struggles
   -  collaborate in mutual decision making
   -  develop new and more satisfying ways of relating to each other 
   -  uncover implicit values and unconscious expectations for Inter-    
      Cultural couples
