We are wired for connection. We know this based on the research of Brene Brown and the work of Dr. Sue Johnson. When things aren’t working well in our relationships and our lives- we feel it. We struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, and stress which causes potentially MORE issues in our relationships. It’s hard to see a way out or a way through when it seems like there is not a lit path ahead. We may have found ways to cope that aren’t working anymore, and causing us to feel even more alone. We may have forgotten what is important to us, and are finding ways to gain control again in the chaos, perhaps through ways that seem healthy on the surface, but are in fact making things worse. Through techniques based in ACT and other approaches, humor and connection, let’s light the path. 

I am an Individual and Couples therapist. I use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, which focuses on reestablishing connection and security in our primary love relationships by seeing how disagreements, and the way we disagree, are pushing us further apart. By learning the patterns and ways in which we move with our partners, we can learn to move together again.
