Marriage counseling that Heals in El Cerrito, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

I provide couples counseling which can be beneficial whether you are married or in a long term partnership. Therapy can be helpful for all couples to open up communication, gain mutual understanding and have a safe place to be vulnerable.

All deep, long-term relationships trigger emotional wounds and learned patterns. I work with couples who want their relationship to be a pathway toward healing and transformation. We use experiential processes to deepen authentic communication and enhance intimacy.

Over time, relationships encounter many difficulties- infidelity, dissatisfying sex life, lack of connectedness, frequent arguing. I will teach you strategies to repair your relationship and prevent future blow-outs.

Couples counseling is an opportunity to understand problematic patterns and explore new communication, behaviors, and connections. I help facilitate a more productive conversation in a safe environment and offer exercises and other resources to practice from home.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help couples identify parts that are interacting within a relationship, developing a better understanding of themselves and their relationship patterns.

The path of loving can sometimes be difficult. Even the most devoted partners have conflicts from time to time. A compassionate therapist with experience in helping couples can be an invaluable resource for your relationship. If I can help, please call me.

Many couples who are experiencing high conflict in their relationship find my approach helpful. I am sensitive to the possibility that one partner is sometimes less familiar or comfortable with psychotherapy and strive to foster a safe and compassionate environment.

I have over 20 years experience working with couples to help with open and honest communication, building safety and trust, and opening up our hearts. Learning how to create deep and lasting intimacy with a partner.
