couples

Relationships are such a huge part of our lives. When those relationships are troubled, there tends to be a big impact on other parts of our lives, mood, motivation, and general well-being. Oftentimes, members of a couple may feel disrepected and unimportant; as a result, their response may be less-than-loving. This creates a cycle of misery!

Another cycle that many couples are stuck in is a constant recreation of past relationships (relationships with others or ourselves). These old relationships have had an enormous impact on us, yet we may have never been aware of the impact, or it has never been an issue until this relationship.

I am very passionate about relationships and helping couples. This passion is what stops me from lying to you. I do NOT believe that every relationship should be resurrected and I DO believe that the well-being of the individuals is more important than the well-being of the couple. With that said, my desire with couples is that you will stop seeing me as soon as possible because there is nothing worse than couples who become dependent on their therapist!

Warning: Couples therapy requires a large amount of work on your part! I will help you stabilize your crisis state, offer education, and train you in skills--the rest is up to you. 

(*I do not work with couples where one partner is in an active affair, has a substance abuse/dependence problem that is not being treated, or suicidal. I hold the belief that individual therapy is more helpful and appropriate in these cases.)
