“The growth of [marital] love is not a straight line, but a series of hills and valleys”
(Madeleine L’Engle, “Two-Part Invention”, p. 128).

Recent neuroscience and attachment-developmental psychology research suggests that human beings are innately wired to pursue secure and intimate loving bonds. Meanwhile, it remains a challenge for most of us to secure a loving relationship, and weather it through often decades of life changes and external stress. The loss of a loving connection and emotional isolation is directly associated with depression and many other health issues, outside pragmatical difficulties.

In my sessions: - I work on understanding the interests of change from both partners, in regard to their loving bond as well as for their individual wellness. - I assist couples to overcome the shadow of past emotional injuries including traumas, restore their relational and individual resilience, and re-open communication channel towards safety, openness, and felt-sense of love. - I facilitate couples to communicate their needs effectively and become more in tune with their partner's feelings. I welcome both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. My couples therapy work is guided by: 1. AEDP approach for couples 2. Emotionally-focused Therapy for Couples by Dr. Sue Johnson. |
