Couples

As with individuals, work with couples first involves understanding your goals for therapy. We’ll also spend time early on talking about the important relationships that helped shape each of you. Children are born with an essential need to attach to a parent or caregiver for their survival, and the sense of security they feel forms a playbook of sorts for how they will interact in future relationships. Your “attachment history,” as it is known, becomes a foundation for our work together. Liz’s practice is LGBTQ+-affirming and welcomes the wide range of partner relationships! Among the challenges we might address:

Addictions

Communication

Cultural conflict

Divorce & separation, including co-parenting & blended families

Emotional distance

Extended family

Infidelity
