When you are looking for a couples therapist, you need someone who is trained in couples therapy specifically. Often therapists say they know how to help a couple, but one's training in couples therapy is typically limited to one class in their entire education! The focus of therapy is traditionally on the individual! Here at LA Therapy Network, several of our therapists have specific couples therapy training! We require all our therapists to be educated specifically in couples therapy. We are all trained in helping cuoples from a developmental perspective as well as providing practical strategies for communication and conflict resolution. GLBT families encouraged and welcome!

As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I focus on helping couples improve their intimate relationships. Couples who are dating, engaged, married, or divorcing benefit from improved communication. Most couples, even those deeply in love, sometimes feel alone in their relationships. I help them to honor the space between them, cross the bridge to the other's world and listen with understanding and compassion. Solutions for relationship challenges flow easily once the connection is established. I help couples to understand the stages of relationship, recapture some of that early passion, reestablish fun and playfulness, and move forward toward their shared vision.

A good relationship is not one without problems, it is one that can work through problems. Issues arise between couples who are either married, engaged to be married or dating. If a couple does not know how to navigate peacefully through a conflict and tends to avoid it or gets into heated power struggles, nothing gets resolved, resentment builds and repairs are never made. Conjoint therapy involves learning how to communicate more effectively, redefine your relationship, heal past wounds, talk without criticizing and listen without defending. I will help you and your partner identify the issues and will help you to decide what changes are needed for both of you to feel satisfied.

To achieve our goal of getting love we want from our relationship, the process must begin at the beginning by looking at your earliest relationships in life and not only recognizing the traits of those early care givers but also realizing that those very same qualities are the ones we are repeatedly seeking out unconsciously in our adult partners. Learning to access your own true emotions intra-psychically and express them genuinely, honestly, and directly, as well as being able to listen, hear, and mirror another’s truly shared deep feelings and thoughts are keys to having highly effective and functional relationships. Learn to own your own feelings and your own role in your relationships

Therapy offers a supportive environment where you can communicate in a safe way... learn to calm down, listen and validate the other person... become more aware of each other's over-reactions and vulnerabilities... understand each other's needs... clarify commonalities and differences in your relationship goals... negotiate, accept and move on to a better emotional state. With objective guidance, I can provide you with insights, exercises and concrete skills to help you transform your relationship into a lasting source of love and companionship... or find the courage to end what cannot be repaired.

Getting to be in a relationship--the challenge of learning to live with, express loving and angry feelings and show kindness and respect to another human being on a consistent basis is what we all aim for. Most couples fall far short of this, because they get into squabbles about minor and major things, but mostly minor things. Lack of communication skills is the issue, and most individuals don't know the real source of their hurt or frustration, without resoritng to blaming the other for their own unpleasant feelings. The work here is learning how to: face longstanding conflicts (sex, money, kids); express frustration constructively; show kindness; connect emotionally with your partner.

Couples seek counseling at various stages of their relationships and for a variety of different reasons. I am an experienced therapist who assists couples with conflict resolution, parenting issues, communication breakdowns and decision making, i.e. getting married, having children. I provide a safe and supportive environment in which couples can identify and express their concerns, needs and wants. By helping couples to communicate clearly and effectively (as opposed to defensively), a greater understanding and ability to respond to one another can be achieved, This will, in turn, contribute to a healthier partnership.

Being in a relationship takes work. Learning to communicate, learning to listen, learning to respond rather than react can be accomplished during relationship counseling. Just as you can learn to dance like a star, you can learn the intimate dance of relating. We each bring our history into a relationship. We bring habitual ways of relating, childhood experiences, past relationships into each relationship. Learning how to truly connect with another human being takes effort and commitment. Overcoming our past, unlearning habits, learning new styles in order to develop a rewarding present relationship requires professional help in the same way as learning to dance requires a dance coach.

Relationships are an area where young adults can struggle. Wanting to create lasting bonds, they don't always think about who is a good match for them, given their family values, and plans for their life. Past failed relationships can also leave young adults hesitant to open their hearts and try to find love again. I help young adults discover what it takes to create the loving relationship they've always dreamed of. I also facilitate the important pre-marital discussions between couples that are necessary prior to beginning their life together as a married couple.
