Individual and Couples Relationship Counseling

Are you experiencing problems in your marriage, relationship or partnership?

I offer individual relationship counseling to address the many types of challenges we face when in (or out of) a relationship. This work may relate to a spouse, a partner, a potential mate, an ex-spouse, etc.

Areas of this individual work might include:

• healing from a painful breakup
  
  
• overcoming commitment and abandonment fears
  
  
• hesitancy around entering a new relationship
  
  
• healing relationships with family members
  
  
• developing healthy relationship skills
  
  
• situations where your partner is unable or unwilling to attend couples counseling with you
  
  
  
  

I also offer couples counseling to specifically address the needs of those in a committed relationship, where both individuals participate.

I help couples develop skills that support increased understanding, connection and intimacy. I work with couples of all orientations, including married, domestic partners, same-sex relationships, bi-racial partnerships - essentially, all forms of committed relationships. I provide a setting in which both partners can safely explore the relationship, better understand the difficulties, and create a desired change.

Areas of concern often include:

• Communication problems
  
  
• Lack/loss of intimacy
  
  
• Premarital concerns
  
  
• Infidelity
  
  
• Pornography/sex addiction
  
  
• Excessive anger/conflict
  
  
• Jealousy
  
  
• Parenting issues
  
  
• Commitment issues
  
  
• Money issues
  
  
  
  

Through our work together you can expect to:

• Increase closeness and connection without losing yourself
  
  
• Learn to communicate in ways where you both feel heard and understood (even when you disagree)
  
  
• Understand and heal the emotional and behavioral patterns that hurt your relationship
  
  
• Learn new skills to redirect destructive patterns toward ones that create love and joy
  
  
• Revitalize your sexual connection
  
  
• Repair the wounds of infidelity and betrayal; restore trust
  
  
• Continue to grow both individually and as a couple, even after therapy has ended
  
  

Finally, I work with couples dealing with prior sexual abuse in one or both partners, along with infidelity and pornography issues

I know that we all need help in critical times.
Reaching out for support and guidance is a sign of strength.
