Couples seek counseling for a variety of reasons: Some wish to learn to handle conflict more constructively, others want to communicate more effectively and with fewer misunderstandings, others feel that they have lost each other or the emotional closeness they once had.

Making an appointment with a Couples Therapist is an important first step towards confronting the difficulties, learning new skills in resolving conflict and developing a better understanding of your partner and of yourself in an intimate relationship.

I have helped couples constructively handle conflict through developing better communication skills.

I have helped couples on the verge of divorce who through couples therapy have seen how they have unwittingly used the marriage to reenact old and unresolved hurts. When the underlying problem is identified and addressed they see the other with clearer vision and are able to experience empathy.
