My Approach to Helping
I specialize in couples therapy. I help clients improve their dialogue, solve relationship problems and work through damaging betrayals of trust. When a couple seeks counseling they are often in crisis. Essential dialogue between partners has broken down as has their ability to negotiate differences and solve problems. Discussions turn into hurtful arguments that erode the relationship. I lead safe, structured sessions to restore respectful and productive dialogue. Partners practice active listening and acknowledging the other person's point of view. We explore the family patterns of each partner to shed light on the current conflicts.

Emotional affairs can be more damaging than physical affairs and both are betrayals of trust and loyalty. Betrayal of trust is devastating to the one who has been faithful and creates a crisis in the family. I help a couple work through this crisis of betrayal to find resolution.
