Marriage counseling that Heals in Newington, VA. Restore Your Relationship.

Stuck in the same patterns of problematic issues in your marriage? Trying to improve communication, connection, and enjoyment in your marriage? Let me guide and assist you in overcoming issues and creating the happy, healthy marriage you want.

After the spontaneous enchantment of “falling in love”, you and your mate go through predictable stages that require adjustment or result in stress. Find growing harmony and happiness by learning to negotiate for what you most deeply need and want.

Relationship stress can have a ripple effect in our lives. I use a combination of techniques when working with couples, including EFT, IFS, and problem-solving techniques.

Marriage has the unique ability to bring out both the best and worst in us. My goal is to help you and your spouse support each other in refining yourselves so that you can help each other be the people you have potential to be!

My passion is working with couples "on the brink": those who have had a difficult time connecting and/or communicating for a long time. These couples are not only a welcome challenge, but one where I can do some tangible good. If you're willing to work, change happens.

In couples or relationship therapy, I help clients learn skills to understand each other, resolve conflicts, and communicate effectively in order to find the love and strength that first brought them together, and to enhance intimacy, trust, satisfaction and love.

I use the latest methods of communication, conflict resolution, attachment theory and trust building to help couples resolve conflicts quickly and deepen their connection. I have extensive training and 20 years experience in multiple modalities of relationship therapy.

In my work with couples and families, I assess the needs of each individual, as well as the relationship itself. Through various therapeutic approaches, I will assist you in living your best and fullest life together. See my book, "HOW TO STAY TOGETHER" on Amazon.com.

Like all psychotherapy, couples therapy is a process, but one in which I work to help both members of a partnership to feel heard while also working for measurable change that couples can notice and know when they are making progress.

Providing marriage counseling with the goal of not only keeping couples together through difficult times, but also strengthening the marriage bond and deepening understanding and emotional intimacy. I have advanced training and a great deal of experience in this work.
