Marriage counseling that Heals in Palos Verdes Estates, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

Is your relationship in trouble? Is there much conflict or anger between partners? I specialize in helping couples manage conflict, improve communication, and deal with each other with more skill. Learn how to be together yet remain your own person.

Fighting with a loved one is exhausting -- often based on misconceptions, blame, defensiveness. I can provide you with skills to communicate safely while managing intense emotions and gently explore with you underlying issues in order to promote compassion/resolution.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

In my work with couples, I take non high conflict couples who want to better communicate and heal attachment wounds. In my work with kids I like to involve their system (parent/parents/family) to promote support and bonding.

Premarital Therapy is the most requested form of couples therapy in my practice. Addressing issues that often don't develop until after marriage and providing conflict resolution tools to the couple to support healthy communication assists reducing future conflicts.

I strive to provide a safe place a person can go and be themselves, with no judgments. I continue in my belief that resiliency resides in everyone. I truly believe that change is possible and that everyone has room for improvement in their lives (including me).
