I don’t want to bore you with too much clinical jargon so I will try and keep it as simple but informative as possible. I work from an Emotion Focused perspective. This guides a lot of my couples work because it focuses on learning to communicate with one another in a way that provides comfort and security. It uses attachment theory to navigate how mom, dad, or caretaker have played a role in shaping you and your relationship with others. 

Once in a while I will throw in some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Which is a fancy way of saying, "Let’s look at your thoughts and how they are not helpful, throw them out, and replace them, with true, and helpful thoughts." And of course, my first instinct is to see things through a Behavioral Therapy lens given my background. This is a fancy way if saying, "How did you just reinforce that behavior, and are you giving that negative attention."
