Most couples counselors expect you to come weekly for many months, and you will not know in advance how much time and money you will have to spend. Couples almost always need just 3 or 4 sessions with me to leave happily, their problems gone permanently. Couples who have seen me over the years have paid much less than they would have paid to old-fashioned therapists who get so bogged down in psychoanalyzing couples that most couples quit in frustration, having wasted lots of money and found no permanent solutions. How can I enable change in such a short time? We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems.

Having a trained Marriage and Family therapist to help you identify and become clear in what you need to do differently to improve your marriage and change the dynamics in your relationship can help.

My goal in working with couples is to teach them ways to communicate effectively and find healthy avenues to get their needs met in a relationship. We will explore concepts like validation and the ways in which it serves as a uniting force. Further, I find that it's helpful to teach clients about " love languages" and the ways in which understanding this idea can help people to begin to speak the language of their partner, and begin feeling heard for the first time.

Most couples have problems with communications, such as anger, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. I help each of you to identify and express what you believe is harming your relationship. Then, I help each of you identify which small changes you can make in your day-to-day life that will result in big changes and better communication in your relationship.

In Couple’s Counseling; I accept the view that as individual we are complex beings who are multifaceted and therefore multi-storied. So in working with a couple, I try to balance the conversation, so that each feels heard. My aim is be neutral to each, as much as possible. So in the initial session we collaborate in setting ground rules. I encourage autonomy so each know his/her right to govern their own freedom of choices and behaviors. I steer away from cookie cutter activities as I believe that in the process of therapy client will use their resources to find their own path that work for their relationship. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy.

Maintaining balance and fostering a healthy relationship requires effort and commitment from both partners. Couples can benefit from therapy by addressing various aspects of their relationship, such as improving problem-solving skills, enhancing communication and understanding between partners, resolving differences, and nurturing what works well. Additionally, couples can work on developing shared meaning and goals to create a fulfilling relationship together. Common issues that couples seek therapy for include financial concerns, differences in parenting styles and lifestyle preferences, and challenges related to sexual intimacy. Through therapy, couples can gain valuable insights, tools, and strategies to strengthen their bond and navigate challenges effectively.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have extensive training and experience helping couples navigate some of the most painful and difficult chapters of their relationships. My approach is both compassionate and practical, shaped by years of walking with couples across the country as they work through challenges of trust, intimacy, and communication. I have also been featured in leading outlets such as Forbes, The Knot, Women’s Health, Yahoo, Self, Glamour, and AARP for my insights on relationships, intimacy, and communication. Whether you are facing ongoing conflict, a loss of closeness, or the aftermath of betrayal, I would be honored to meet with you and your partner.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?
