About

You really need your partner right now. You need them to be there with you and for you - to really show up. You're committed to each other, but you often feel like they're not present - even when you're together. You try to communicate and share your life together, but you're not connecting. Either you end up in misunderstandings or arguments, or they shut down and pull away. It's the same fights, the same struggles - again and again. All you want is to feel safe and comfortable in their presence. You have so many questions these days: "Is it them or me?" "Do they really understand what I want and need?" "Are we even compatible?" I work with couples struggling with differences such as commitment and love or attachment styles. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), parts-based (IFS) and somatic approaches, I'll help you encounter, discover and integrate parts of yourself and your emotions to navigate those differences successfully.
