Couples therapy
Couples therapy isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about building something that lasts—a relationship that feels steady, supportive, and deeply satisfying, not just for now, but for the rest of your lives. With such a foundation, you’re not just getting by; you’re growing together, facing life’s challenges as a team. Therapy offers a valuable resource in different phases of your relationship, whether you’re building a stable ground or managing conflicts. By exploring your needs, feelings, and behavioral patterns, therapy aims to increase your awareness and identify insights that foster a healthy dynamic in the relationship.
In the therapeutic process we focus on creating emotional safety because when there’s safety between you, everything changes. You listen more openly, speak more honestly, and take more risks—not with each other, but out in the world—because you know there’s someone by your side who truly understands and supports you. This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level advice; it’s about slowing down, getting real, and rebuilding trust, understanding, and closeness that can carry you through life’s seasons.
”We are born in relationship, we are wounded in relationship, and we can be healed in relationship.”

How does couples therapy work?
The therapy process in couples therapy is guided by an integrative therapeutic perspective, combining psychosynthesis, cognitive therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, all while considering your attachment styles. Couples therapy provides tools, exercises, and professional support to explore your feelings, behaviors, and dynamics. It’s a customized process where methods and tools are tailored to your specific circumstances and needs. By understanding your attachment styles, you can meet each other with warmth and compassion, crucial for handling conflicts healthily. It’s a space where both of you can be fully human, where conflict becomes an opportunity for connection, and where love becomes something you keep choosing, over and over again. The therapy room is a safe space to converse freely and understand each other without the pressure to change, offering an opportunity to process past events and cultivate a more loving relationship. My goal is to create an environment where you can heal together while also gaining tools to use in your everyday life. Sometimes, external support and guidance are crucial in finding the right path for you.
