If partners have the will and commitment to improve the relationship, there is great probability that they will succeed.

With positivity and optimism, I help couples strengthen their relationships and deepen their connections. Relationships aren’t easy. We bring emotional baggage from our pasts that continue to impact us as adults, individually and in our relationships. When couples first get together, the relationship is easy, fresh and romantic. Dining out at trendy restaurants, movie dates and great sex. Over time, life’s stressors set in; finances, careers, in-laws, medical problems and children. The truth is relationships can be messy, frustrating and tremendously disappointing.

So how do you get the magic back? Using effective holistic and science-based interventions, I teach couples how to communicate productively, enabling them to have difficult conversations about finances, infidelity, intimacy and difference of opinions. We work collaboratively to address trust issues and resentments, which opens the door to healing, forgiveness, renewed commitment and passion. In my therapy sessions, there is no “bad guy” and blame is never the focus.

I provide a safe environment that is free of judgement and criticism. Couples feel comfortable discussing personal issues, needs and desires. I offer Couples’ Intensives that are appreciated by couples who want to get a jump-start on the counseling process. Intensives are ‘fast-track’ couples counseling that can produce rapid change. Intensives range from 1-3 days, depending on the specific needs of each couple. The extended time that Intensives provide, gives clients the opportunity to “unpack” all of the major problems that have been creating sadness, chaos and anger. I am able to quickly identify the core issues, enabling the healing process to begin almost immediately.
