Relationships

I specialize in providing marriage counseling, couples therapy, premarital therapy, couples therapy for one, and sex therapy.

Feeling stuck because everything you’ve tried has not been received by your partner?

Don’t know how to get the loving relationship you want?

Want to stop fighting AND have a better sex life?

Have you been to couple therapy, but it didn’t work?

When your relationship isn’t flowing, it affects every other aspect of your life. You need real, effective help.

In therapy with me, you learn to decrease conflict, improve communication, and increase emotional and sexual intimacy. I don’t just sit back and ask you how you feel. After all, you already know how to be disconnected or argue outside the therapy office. My engaged style stops negative patterns, teaches productive communication tools, and helps you love again.

Want to learn more? Read on, check out my Journey to Stronger Relationships blog, or contact me, and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

In our first hour, I typically have three goals:

Hear each person about the challenges.
Find your strengths so I can remind you that there is hope.
Give you a tool or task so you can begin making changes right away.

Beyond the first session, I complete an assessment, and we create goals together. Here are the most common relationship goals I help couples achieve:

Decreasing conflict
Improving communication
Deepening emotional connection
Enhancing sexual satisfaction
Increasing self-care and self-soothing
Resolving values differences

I use therapy techniques from the Gottman method, emotionally focused couples therapy, and other empirically validated marriage therapy methods. To maintain my skills, I also attend the Erickson Institute’s Couples Conference almost every year.
