Couple Therapy
Are you having the same arguments over and over? Or maybe you and your partner aren’t talking much at all, and so much has been left unspoken that unpacking it all feels overwhelming.
Almost every couple I speak with share a goal of “improving communication”. Much of my work with couples has been helping young adults make big decisions when they feel stuck, such as whether to get married, where to live, or whether to have children. I help couples understand what’s really happening beneath their arguments (or silence) to help build a strong foundation for the future together, no matter the issue or topic of conversation.
Training & Background
I’ve taken a special interest in working with couples since the beginning of my career, and completed post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is an approach that draws heavily on attachment theory to help couples identify negative underlying conflict cycles, and create new, more positive experiences together. I find that the focus on emotions and attachment marries well with depth-oriented work to create a richer experience.
My Approach
I take a collaborative and direct approach to support couples in working towards their desired changes. Because we’re focused on changing the underlying cycle, I believe that both people share accountability for patterns within the relationship. We’ll work towards understanding how your early relationships and experiences with broader social systems shape the current state of the relationship, while paying close attention to the process of your interactions in session.
Logistics
We’ll meet weekly in person, online, or in an agreed-upon hybrid format. Couple sessions are $290 for 50 minutes. 75 or 90-minute sessions may be available at an additional fee. I can either provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement or submit out-of-network claims on your behalf. When I’m able, I offer sliding scale slots based on financial need - if cost feels prohibitive, please reach out so we can discuss a fee that is doable for you. You can check your out-of-network benefits for free here.
