Couples who see me for counseling can expect several things. First, I'm going to emphasize that your relationship is the client that I'll be working with. Second, each of you contributes both positively and negatively to the quality of the relationship. Third, change in the relationship can take place if you own your contribution and determine what new behaviors you'd like to see. Lastly, I'll focus on assisting you in building a firm foundation for lasting intimacy that can continue for years after therapy has concluded.

Couples come for help when, for one reason or another, they are not feeling the sense of connection and enjoyment they desire with each other. Using evidence based methods, therapy is 75 to 85% effective in helping couples make the necessary improvements. In therapy, couples learn skills and experience talking with each other on deeper levels. This allows them to work together and respond to each others needs rather then shut each other out. A thorough assessment, as therapy begins, helps couples understand how their relationship works and their specific strengths and rough spots. They learn to optimize their strengths, smooth out their rough spots and get to know each other better.

Distress in a marriage or dating relationship can cause significant internal turmoil. You were made to desire deeply connected relationships, yet sometimes we become stuck in hurtful patterns that seem beyond our control. If you find yourself lost in a sea of distress as a couple, I would like to join with you on the path towards discovering the intimate connection for which you long.

Relationships are important in our lives. Significant others have an even greater role. When we allow external variables to impact our priority relationships, distance can grow. Through our counseling relationship, intimacy, communication, trust, and mutual respect may be strengthened. Couples counseling may involve both individuals but is not required to initiate services.
