I take a trauma informed and attachment-based approach to working with couples. Not only do we look at what happened in specific incidents or experiences and why they occurred, but how these experiences influenced reactions to certain stressors within the relationship. Through exploring past relationships, we can learn to understand what happened to each partner and develop new ways to repair conflicts, rebuild trust, build healthy communication, and strengthen emotional intimacy. These approaches are not based on blame or what’s wrong with the other person. We focus on learning how to understand and support each other when past relationship issues get in the way of emotionally connecting.
