Deciding to share your life together can be exciting and thrilling, but it can also bring up insecurities and fears.

Perhaps you and your partner are having the same negative interaction over and over again and you want to break this pattern. Maybe misunderstandings cause frustration and disconnection, and you’d like to find more effective ways of communicating with each other. Or maybe you’d like to foster a deeper bond with your partner. 

Our goal together will be to strengthen and grow your relationship. We will work collaboratively to develop effective tools that will increase trust, intimacy and connection.

Warmly, Anita

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, an Ackerman Institute Certified Couple and Family Therapist and a Certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home Educator. I use a blend of relational and attachment models, including the highly effective models of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, to help couples build stronger and more secure bonds.  

Preparation for Parenthood

Having a child together can be one of the most bonding experiences a couple can have, but it also brings about significant changes in the transition from couple to family. You may find your roles shifting or you may find it challenging to find time for each other as parenting becomes the primary focus.

Recent studies show that the greatest predictor of family happiness and satisfaction, after baby arrives, is the “quality of the couple’s relationship.” I apply my training as a Certified Gottman Bringing Baby Home (BBH) Educator, to help you proactively plan for this new phase in your life together by honoring both the couple bond and the family bond.
