Clinical Focus Areas
To the outside world, you are a power couple, but inside the home, you may have become efficient roommates managing logistics and living parallel lives. I provide specialized counseling to help high-achieving partners drop their defensive armor and rebuild their bond. We stop the quiet drift so you can move forward as a united team once again.
The Conflict Loop
We identify the reactive cycles that pull you apart when disagreements arise. Instead of just arguing over surface-level issues, we address the internal physical tension and the protective walls that go up when you feel misunderstood. By understanding your underlying needs for safety, we shift from a defensive posture toward a space where you can finally reach for each other again.
Cultural Impasses
This is for couples navigating the unique stress of setting boundaries with extended family while building a life that reflects their shared values. We address the emotional gridlock that happens when family traditions clash with the health of your partnership. I help you navigate the differing family scripts you both inherited so you can protect the integrity of your own home.
Healing the Drift
We move beyond the logistics of managing a household to return to a place of genuine friendship. We target the quiet drift that occurs when you become efficient roommates rather than romantic partners. Using Gottman Method principles, we build a foundation of appreciation and shared meaning to create a sustainable, attuned bond.
The Shared Legacy
This is about defining what your partnership looks like when you are no longer following the blueprints you inherited from previous generations. We explore how to align your individual values and career ambitions into a shared vision. By unhooking from old expectations, we help you build a new legacy that reflects your authentic choices as a couple.
Our Clinical Roadmap
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method principles, we map your specific cycle of conflict to move you from judging each other’s solutions to understanding each other’s lived experiences.
Phase 01: De-Escalating (Identifying the Cycle)
Understanding the "dance" of your conflict. We look at the internal walls that go up and find the path back to safety.
Phase 02: Reconnecting (Healing the Drift)
Moving beneath the arguments to address core vulnerabilities. We shift the focus from managing a household back to genuine warmth.
Phase 03: Rebuilding (Creating a Shared Legacy)
Establishing new rituals of connection that protect your partnership. You move forward with intentional choices rather than inherited roles.
