“Love is not a feeling, it’s an ability.”
It’s undeniable, that change you feel in your relationship as it begins a new path forward. Something shifts and you start to see your partner in another light. You begin to find the connection that’s been missing. You’ve finally made it through the rut and can love and be loved again.
Even when our relationship seems to defy logic, all of our behavior still makes sense. It’s the habits and routines we fall into that cause problems. Neither you nor your partner should have to struggle alone, though. Together you can learn to fight the cycle, not each other.
I didn’t set out to specialize in couple therapy, but I found an immediate calling to it. It’s an honor to share the sacred space of two people and help them learn to love again. My professional training is specialized in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-backed modality based on the science of adult attachment that is especially effective in couples counseling. I’m also a therapist on staff at The Couples Institute in Menlo Park. Click here to learn more about Emotionally Focused Therapy. Click here to learn more about The Couples Institute.
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
