I enjoy working with couples. The energy, intensity, hopes, and dreams that bring couples into therapy is a powerful resource that, when channeled effectively, not only improves the relationship, but each individual in it.

We are fundamentally social beings. We express our social nature through attachment patterns that form very early in our lives and that play out in our relationships, and most strongly in our love relationship. Working with those patterns is central to the work we do together.

Relationship challenges usually come to a head when the couple hits a crossroad in their lives. The conflicts often show up in core arenas, examples of which I’ve listed below. 

• Financial Crises: promotions, demotions, job losses, job changes

• Intimacy Challenges: affairs, sexual performance or changes in desire

• Family Planning: having a child (or struggling to conceive), parenting struggles

• Chemical Use: changes in the use of alcohol, prescription or street drugs

• Relatives: aging parents, struggles with in-laws, family boundary challenges

• Power and Control: who gets to make decisions, who wields power, how is control exercised

Whether seeking traditional hour-long therapy sessions or longer and more involved therapy intensive sessions, I am committed to honoring the needs of each partner in the couple as we work together to help you achieve a livelier, more fulfilling and more intimate connection to each other, or when necessary, enabling couples to separate respectfully and move forward with their lives.
