Marriage counseling that Heals in South Gate, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

I am a certified Facilitator for Prepare & Enrich a pre-martial/martial program designed to address a couples relationship and provide couple exercises to build their relationship skills.

Healthy communication skills create a loving, close relationship. When conversations break down, couples feel confused, frustrated, and stuck in conflict. Couples therapy helps you rebuild trust, improve communication, and reconnect with warmth, respect, and clarity.

Warm, nurturing relationships can help us get through the toughest times...but what if your relationship is the "tough time?" I love helping couples discover how they can finally get on the same page emotionally and feel like best friends again.

I particularly like to work with gay male couples experiencing relationship problems. However, I also provide marriage preparation and other conjoint therapy aimed at better communication and facilitation of change and fulfillment in romantic relationships.

I specialize in work with children, adolescents, and families. I use a psychodynamic approach which works well with people struggling with trauma as well as mood disorders.

At Pasadena Relationship Center our goal is to help individuals, couples, groups, and teams to live their best lives! Let us help you gain the skills and knowledge to achieve your goals in a safe, caring, tranquil, and confidential environment.

My areas of focus are trauma and play therapy. I use a mind/body approach to treating trauma and the associated symptoms. Play therapy uses the language of play to resolve issues and find solutions.

Couples, Families and Relationships: Whether anxiety, depression, past traumas or failed relationships are currently making you or your relationship feel stuck, together we can safely work through long-standing struggles with effective and safe approaches.

I believe we are relational by nature, and often, our "individual" problems stem from interpersonal difficulties. Couples and/or family therapy can help you find healthier and more meaningful ways of relating to the people closest to you.

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

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.

I currently work with individuals navigating relationship challenges but do not offer couples or marriage counseling at this time.

In many cases, marriage and family issues can be fixed. That's the good news! You owe it to yourself and the ones you care about to work toward restoration and healing.
