Marriage counseling that Heals in Havre de Grace, MD. Restore Your Relationship.

I enjoy working with couples and have done so for 25 years. In the safe, confidential therapy setting both of you will learn to communicate more effectively, understand each other at a deeper level, and learn ways to resolve the conflicts that brought you to therapy.

Our approach is to focus on the individual for as long as one partner is out-of-balance, the relationship will not thrive. As a professional hypnosis consultant, each of our sessions focuses on unraveling the emotional cloud that has emptied the well of love and family.

Couples have times when they don't function well, the relationship begins to have self-reinforcing, maladaptive patterns thus "negative interaction cycles". I use the Imago Therapy approach to help couples make the necessary changes to create positive interactions.

Every marriage or intimate romantic partnership has its own dynamic style. A couple can better understand and manage their "dance" with the help of a professional counselor, healing dialogues, and a calm, thoughtful awareness of temperament types, and love languages.

I take a realistic approach to a real problem...It is not about who is right, and who is wrong, or about who did something and about who was the victim...it is about finding ways to connect, work together, and find common ground. Put in the effort, and I will help.

After the spontaneous enchantment of “falling in love”, you and your mate go through predictable stages that require adjustment or result in stress. Find growing harmony and happiness by learning to negotiate for what you most deeply need and want.

Nothing is more painful or draining than difficulties in our family relationships. As you learn to understand yourself and your loved one better, interactive therapy can help you work together to reduce defensiveness and create the closeness you have always wanted.

I've found the best approach is the communications model. This approach begins with the assumption that problems begin when couples stop communicating. Poor communications can take the form of distorted messages or simply the lack of any message at all.
