Marriage counseling that Heals in Oakley, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

Couples, Families and Relationships. Are you and your loved one feeling disconnected from one another? Do you find yourself constantly in the same dysfunctional patterns? Are you feeling shut out/shut down in your relationship? Let me help you find connection again!

I have extensive experience in treating relationship issues. I offer a premarital counseling and assessment program called "Prepare and Enrich". I see individuals struggling with relationship problems as well to help them find solutions and a path towards clarity.

Some of my areas of expertise in working with adolescents, individuals and couples are; communication, self esteem and confidence, relationship frustration and resentment, depression, anxiety, family issues, parenting and co-parenting after separation and transitions.

I specialize in 'all things relationship:' especially marriages, using cognitive, psychodynamic, and trauma resolution models.

As an interactive, solution-focused therapist my approach is to provide support, practical feedback and skills training to help couples effectively address challenges. Integrating complementary methodologies and techniques, I offer treatment tailored to fit each couple.

Couples therapy is my speciality! Please see my website to learn more at www.theheartdistinction.com

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.

Loving relationships require time and attention to be at their best - and sometimes our efforts to keep them alive and loving and dynamic, simply don't seem to be working for us. Please remember you don't have to figure it out all by yourself. I can and want to help.
