My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

The goal of couples therapy is to help couples build relationships that are both deeply satisfying and built to last. It's about creating a strong emotional connection, resolving conflicts effectively, and developing the tools to maintain a fulfilling partnership over time. Through therapy, couples can find new ways to support each other, reignite passion, and strengthen their bond so that their relationship endures through life?s challenges.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

When choosing a therapist, several key factors can make a big difference in your experience and results. First, look for expertise and a strong background in evidence-based methods. I specialize in Schema Therapy, Gottman Method, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, all of which have proven success in helping couples and individuals navigate complex issues.

Second, consider the connection you feel with the therapist. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable and understood. I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be open and honest, knowing that I?m here to support you.

Finally, convenience matters. I offer flexible online sessions so that therapy can fit into your busy life without added stress. The goal is to make sure the process works for you, both in terms of schedule and approach. With the right therapist, you?ll have the tools and guidance you need to create meaningful, lasting change.
