Where Love Meets Understanding: Couple Therapy
Psychoanalytic • Object Relations • Reality-Oriented
Introduction
In couple therapy, I approach the relationship not as something to be “fixed,” but as a living emotional field where past experiences, defenses, and longings are continually enacted.
Yet I also believe therapy must stay grounded in reality — helping partners navigate the practical challenges of daily life: communication breakdowns, parenting stress, financial pressures, and the quiet resentments that build when these challenges go unspoken.
My Approach
My method blends psychoanalytic and object relations thinking with reality-oriented tools — to explore how unconscious dynamics shape conflicts, while building practical strategies for repair and reconnection.
In This Space, We Work Together To
- Notice the subtle ways love, fear, and disappointment are expressed — or defended against.
- Understand how past wounds are unconsciously replayed in present conflicts.
- Ground emotional exploration with reality checks — what is truly happening between you, versus what is feared or imagined.
- Build practical skills: how to repair after an argument, express needs without blame, and create shared agreements for daily life.
- Hold both the emotional truth and the reality of living together — because intimacy is both felt and built.

简介
在伴侣治疗中，我不会将关系视为需要“修理”的问题，而是一个充满情感能量的场域，其中早年的经验、防御与渴望不断上演。
同时，治疗必须立足于现实——帮助伴侣面对日常生活的挑战：沟通不畅、育儿压力、经济压力，以及那些长期未被言说的怨怼。
我的方法
我将精神分析与客体关系思维 与 现实导向策略 相结合——不仅探索无意识如何塑造冲突，也帮助伴侣构建可行的修复与重新连接的方案。
我们将一起
- 觉察爱、恐惧和失望被表达或被防御的方式。
- 理解过去的创伤如何无意识地在当下关系中重演。
- 在探索情感的同时进行现实检验——分辨现实与想象中的恐惧。
- 建立实用技能：争吵后的修复方式、无责备地表达需求、为日常生活达成共识。
- 同时把握情感真相与现实生活——因为亲密不仅需要感受，也需要共同构建。
