My Approach to Helping

ATTENTION COUPLES and FAMILIES: Has the friendship between you and your partner or family members evaporated? Do you long for closeness and understanding? Is the communication in your household distant and awkward? Your relationships can improve. Even if it seems your partner or family will never understand you or one another, there is hope. I specialize in working with couples and families, I can tell you without hesitation that problems in relationships are almost always due to the ways which people communicate during challenging situations. Call for an appointment either as a couple, family or an individual. Together we will work to save and improve your relationships.

I work with couples, families and individuals. Relationships are a particular passion. We learn who we are in the context of other people. As humans we are also pack animals. We need one another.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

The word communication is one that is used often as the culprint of problems between couples. However few people know how to successfully communicate with the person they love. So often communication is taken to mean that we are "painfully honest". However healthy communication requires that we are "respectfully honest" with those we love. In couple's therapy you and your partner will learn to be respectfully honest. People frequently cannot distinguish between being listened to and loved. In couples therapist we will learn how to listen, join and "not fix". We will practice what works between the two of you and build on your strengths. We will also process and change the behaviors that cause pain and ultimately lead to distance.

Groups I Work With

I am particular interested in helping couples/families to achieve deeper,respectful and more meaningful communication styles. If you find that the two of you get into the same pattern of disagreeing, that creates more confusion and distance, we can change those patterns. Together we can change your unhealthy communication style and create more satisfying, close conversations.
In addition, breakups and divorce are one of life's most stressful events for the individual as well as the couple. I can help you sort through your feelings about the loss of the relationship. Often times friends are not subjective and even though they are well meaning, friends can be judgmental. This is a time in your life that you need an emotionally safe environment to sort and process your feelings and emotions.
