Collaborative Couple Therapy
Collaborative Couple Therapy, developed by Daniel Wile, Ph.D., is a therapeutic approach that takes the couple’s immediate concern (usually a fight or a period of withdrawing from each other) and tries to turn it into an intimate conversation. A therapist practicing Collaborative Couple Therapy will, at times, speak for one or both partners in an effort to show them what it would sound like if they were having an intimate and productive conversation rather than the fight or withdrawal they are experiencing.

Collaborative Couples Therapy helps couples learn to attend to one another's natural emotional reactions with empathy and compassion, rather than becoming adversarial with each other. I have studied intensively with Dan WIle, who developed this method and who john Gottman, a renowned researcher in this field, has called 'our greatest living marital therapist.'

I take a collaborative approach to couples therapy. To me, this means that while I have expertise in areas that pertain to relationships, you are the experts in your relationship. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to marital problems or formula for relational satisfaction. Let's work together to figure out the unique circumstances that are holding your relationship back from its full potential and collaborate to find a path towards fulfillment.
