Couples therapy
Healthy interpersonal relationships contribute immensely to our well-being. We become extremely vulnerable if our relationships do not either work or no longer work as we wish. Relationship problems can be very stressful and affect our health.
If the conflict persists, couples therapy is highly recommended.
As an emotion-focused couples therapist, I aim to assist you in recognizing destructive communication patterns, and to gain insight in order to change them into an empathic communication style. Furthermore, to help understand yours or your partner's emotions such as sadness or anger, despair and hopelessness, and to reach out to the underlying need for closeness and love of our partner, and finally to activate these needs positively.
