I work with couples by helping each person to better communicate their authentic selves to one another in a safe and open manner.  I have a way of assisting individuals in becoming more aware of what they are experiencing in the moment during our therapy sessions – this is where the process of emotional intimacy begins.  Couples are often amazed at what they discover in couples therapy.  They can start to see for themselves how to begin to apply these simple skills on their own.  In most cases it doesn’t take very long for couples to learn to communicate with one another on a more open level.  Then old walls begin to slowly fall away.

Once couples begin to connect on this deeper emotional level, there is often a renewed energy and attraction.  Frequently, an emotional connection begins to occur, which can be followed by an improved physical intimacy.  Women generally tend to need a more emotional connection, which allows them to feel more trust towards their partner.  This often assists women to feel more relaxed and ultimately more receptive to physical contact.  Men are wired to be able to become physically intimate without emotional intimacy.  However, men also have a much deeper need for emotional intimacy that goes all the way back to when they were small boys.  I believe it is through the intimacy building process that both partners can work through emotional wounds from their past.  This can lead to a very special bond between these two people.
