A person’s intimate partner can be one of their greatest sources for pleasure, security, and meaning in life. In such relationships it is NOT normal to feel isolated, controlled, or demeaned. If this is your experience, I can help. Having experienced my own share of suffering in relationships has motivated my focus on philosophies that promote grace and ease when it comes to living with, loving, and leaving others. Influenced by the Gottman Method, my approach strikes a balance between processing regrettable incidents from the past, and ritualising effective practices for building trust, friendship, and intimacy in the present.
I start with a 90-minute assessment, give practical and straight-forward direction, and allow space for each partner’s story to unfold. In therapy, I facilitate discussions that address relational injuries like infidelity, betrayal, and trauma and impart best practices to help couples identify and remedy ineffective behaviours.
Additionally, I go deep, taking each partner aside to practise Lifespan Integration (a trauma therapy). This approach processes relational traumas and further enhances each partner’s sense of clarity and meaning in the relationship. It is my hope that our work together will provide you with the recovery, tools, and confidence that you need to move forward.
