Couples Therapy

We use Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to address a variety couple's issues. 

Couples' therapy can be used with a diverse range of clients from various cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientations, and presenting problems. Some of the more common issues we address include:

• Past hurts (i.e. affairs or relationship traumas)
• Communications difficulties or excessive arguing/fighting
• Loss of connection or closeness in the relationship
• Lifestyle disagreements (i.e. parenting, money, etc.)
• Sexual or intimacy concerns 
• Coping with individual difficulties (trauma, depression, chronic health problems, grief/loss) 
• Debating separation or divorce

We do not use couples therapy to address issues such as on-going violence/abuse/control behaviors as well as current emotional or physical affairs. Generally, in these situations, we advise that each partner seek individual therapy first before engaging in couples work.
