Couples

What if?

We had more tools to truly hear what the other is saying?

We could feel safe enough to be witnessed by our partner?

We could honor the family context the other grew up in?

The reactions we have aren't actually about the other person, but more about ourselves, our past?

We had support to explore this together?

This work is ideal for couples where both are wanting to explore how to show up for each other and their family.

The sessions are dynamic and based on a mixture of somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems based somatic work and Family Constellations.

Preparing to be or are you parents?

What gifts and qualities and generational support do you want to pass along to your child?

What challenges and characteristics do you want to protect them from?

Couple sessions support:

  • Exploring your own early histories so you can be more present for each other

  • Gaining tools to strengthen your ability to ground and provide a calm and nourishing center for your child to co-regulate with

  • Creating a safe container to process your experience so you can be more available for your child

Exploratory Call

I use the term couple to simplify the language, and all family configurations are welcome - LGBTQ - blended - monogamous - polyamorous - open relationship - more.

This work is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment. Referrals may be made to widen your support team base.
