MY APPROACH
De-escalation
Couples learn to identify the negative communication, behaviours, and emotions that contribute to conflict. Based in attachment theory, therapy helps couples understand how their insecurities and fears, that often originate from attachment wounds, may be hurting their relationships.
Consolidation
Couples practice new, healthy communication and skills that strengthen their bond, and prevent conflict from developing. Change is created and sustained by the continuously healing relationship.
Restructuring
Couples are taught to communicate and listen to one another’s vulnerable emotions from a place of compassion, and acceptance, as well as learn how to ask for what they need.
