About

You may be saying to yourself: "I feel stuck. I feel disengaged. The problems seem insurmountable. When I attempt conversation about difficult issues they invariably turn to gridlock. Hurtful words are used by both of us. Withdrawal, isolation and silence follow. It seems we have a crisis over something. Then we have a brief honeymoon followed by a period of tension leading to another explosion. Seems like it never ends. Seems my efforts to engage are met with distancing by my spouse. I feel more and more disconnected, more helpless and hopeless about this relationship." View 11 Photos I provide couples or relationship therapy combining the attachment based experiential approach of Dr Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) along with the communication skills/problem-solving approaches of Dr John Gottman. Additionally I provide Internal Family Systems (IFS) an intra-psychic approach to understanding internal motivation, self-talk.
