Couples/ Marriage therapy provides a safe and supportive environment in which couples can openly communicate and explore their feelings while gaining insight into their dynamics and patterns of interaction.

You argue all the time. You can’t seem to resolve your differences respectfully. Ineffective and hurtful communication continues to be destructive. I will help you to agree to disagree.

You’re emotionally exhausted. You used to believe that things would get better and your partner would change. However, things are only getting worse. I can help identify causes.

Your intimacy and connection have faded. Affection and sex hardly ever take place. You feel undesired and insecure in how you are perceived by your partner and have lost the sense of being understood and cared for. I can help understand those feeling and set goals for positive change.

You feel frustrated lonely and hopeless. You want to save your relationship but you don’t know how. I can help you reach your goals.

Your discovery of infidelity triggers a multitude of emotions which leads to a powerful sense of betrayal, rejection, and shame. I will support both of you, helping you process and work through feelings of hurt, anger, sadness, and guilt. I help the couple identify and examine what led to the affair.

You find yourself holding grudges/fostering resentment. The strength of a partnership depends on the ability to forgive one another. I help couples work through their anger and hurt so they can truly forgive and let go.

You argue over money. Couples frequently differ in their views of money, including spending and saving habits. I can help the two of you understand and work through the challenging issues of money and finance.

Your children are caught in the middle. Do you find yourself fighting with your spouse over issues surrounding your children? I help couples formulate a unified approach to their children to keep their children separate from marital conflict.

You find you and your partner have different styles. No two people are the same. Our preferences and habits reflect our uniqueness. I help couples learn and understand how to appreciate how their strengths and weaknesses complement one another leading to a better appreciation of differences.

My Approach: I help couples learn how small individual changes result in big positive changes in the relationship. In addition, I assist couples to learn how to truly listen to their partner. My approach for couples therapy focuses on repairing and/or strengthening relationships. I set goals and offer real time solutions to apply to daily life.
