Boca Raton Couples Counseling

Is this you?

• We keep having the same argument (communication breaks down fast).

• One of us shuts down; the other pursues—and we both end up resentful.

• Trust is fragile after a breach (affair, secrecy, betrayal of expectations).

• We’re great at work, but at home we’re co-parents/roommates, not partners.

• We need a skilled professional—not a referee.

If that resonates, you’re my people. This is the work I do every day in Boca Raton and statewide by telehealth.

​

My approach (what makes this different)

Regulate → Relate → Repair.
We calm the nervous system first, so insight can actually land. Then we practice new dialogue patterns until they become your new normal.

Method ingredients (adapted to you):

• Attachment-based + emotional regulation (polyvagal-informed)

• Gottman-inspired tools for conflict & connection

• IFS-informed parts work for triggers and defenses

• Structured repair protocols for trust breaches

• Clear, coach-style homework so momentum continues between sessions

“Honesty without regulation is brutality. Honesty with regulation is connection.”

​

What happens in session

1. We map your “fight cycle.” You’ll both see the pattern—without blame.

2. We practice new communication (short scripts, tone shifts, timing).

3. We repair ruptures with a step-by-step process you can repeat at home.

4. We rebuild intimacy—safety, play, sex, and shared vision.
