Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling

Couples Therapy and EMDR

I work with couples when both partners are ready to work on both their relationship as a couple, as well as themselves individually. We will work to identify each person’s own patterns, family history and trauma that contribute to the issues coming up within the couple during disagreements. I use EMDR with couples often by working separately with each person in individual sessions, to address the nervous system shut down or aggravation that happens when a fight occurs and work to shift these patterns from the core.

We will also have couple sessions to work on the relationship. This combination allows deeper healing and restructuring of the nervous system so you can stay present and engaged in conflict with each other. You will both address your own trauma leading to nervous system dys-regulation and begin to understand how it plays into your whole dynamic as a couple.
