Helping Couples to Renew and Resolve Relationships

Because we all learn what we live as children, we are all apt to bring problematic beliefs, expectations, and behaviors into our adult relationships. They tend to show up at times of stress, when we are least able to initiate productive change on our own.

An experienced therapist can defuse the charged environment between you and your partner, providing both of you with insights and resources that will see you safely through this difficult time. In working with the two of you, I create a safe place, helping each of you to feel understood, and, in turn, to understand your partner.

I am an attentive, empathic, and engaged listener; I often understand what you are telling me even though you have not quite articulated the problem to yourself. This skill enables me to help couples untangle misperceptions about one other. I am able to help each of them to understand and develop empathy for their partner.

Your Relationship, Your Life

The benefits of couples therapy include overcoming tough times, resolving conflicts, and recapturing joy and closeness in relationship. But they extend beyond that. As you learn to communicate effectively about highly charged emotional issues and to listen carefully to your partner’s communication, you gain an understanding not only of your partner, but also of yourself.

That knowledge, along with the skills gained in couples therapy, will enrich not only your current and primary relationship, but will also enhance relationships throughout your life.
