What I didn’t know that I didn’t know about dating, relationships and intimacy where the blindspots and barriers we have to connection and intimacy as humans, in our cultures and as individuals. Traditional counseling education and internships don’t explore the subjects of dating or intimacy with any depth.
They talk about relationship issues we develop because of family dysfunction and they help teach communication skills. And that is helpful but they don’t talk about what intimacy is or how to create fulfilling human connection. They don’t talk about dating culture, rules, approaches, or views. So I’ve been studying and exploring those worlds through a psychological lens. All the rules, manipulations, misunderstandings and confusion you may have had to navigate.
Lessons learned so you don’t have to repeat them and you can get to the best parts of the story faster. Together we can remove the barriers that are in your way whether you are new to dating, feeling stuck about dating or are back to dating after a breakup. Through all the struggles I’ve witnessed, including my own, I’ve discovered a whole new approach. I realized that seeing our personal and community blind spots and removing barriers to connection and intimacy transforms a vicious cycle into a breakthrough.
A discovery of freedom and fulfilling connection. And life becomes suddenly more vivid and we feel more alive because meaningful connection is a timeless, deep, and sacred human need.
During the couples sessions, I support the couple in learning specialized communication techniques that support them in getting past defensiveness, and in getting past feelings of hurt, disconnection and even betrayal. We use customized techniques and approaches to help couples learn how to problem solve and experience deeper connection, love, and passionate intimacy. Once emotional intimacy is experienced and learned, you can never get over it. Life and the experience of relationship is forever transformed.
What I used to believe was the traditional couples therapy approach which supports couples in solving their issues through teaching communication practices and problem solving methods. It meets primarily with the couple together. After practicing this type of couples counseling I came to realize that it is a model that misses half of the puzzle and leaves the couple more frustrated and upset.
What I now believe is that a holistic approach is essential for couples having breakthroughs and reaching their goals. The reason is because individual barriers to intimacy can only be effectively addressed in one on one sessions. So in this model we meet with the couple both as a couple and in one in one sessions individually to address those various barriers. In the one on one with each member of the couple we work to help them get past unconscious family patterns, baggage from past relationships, past traumas, the inner critic in one on one sessions with each individual partner. And if needed we can connect our patients with holistic doctors to help optimize hormones, relaxation and energy which can also be key factors in building a healthy relationship and intimacy.
