The Best Marriage Counseling in 92602: Irvine, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

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 approach marital therapy without assumption or value judgement. Each person brings to a relationship unique attributes which may unknowingly contribute to conflict or painful relational patterns. I work with couples to explore, understand and change these patterns.

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.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. John is trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and uses both EFCT and The Gottman methods in therapy.

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.

Couples usually get stuck not because of what they know, but what they cannot see. Unhealthy patterns of relating become established and difficult to change. I help couples identify these patterns and create new ones that make room for your relationship to grow.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to change destructive patterns, and move towards positive communication, and emotional connectivity.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I see clients through the lens of their relationships. Satisfying connections with family, intimate others, co-workers, neighbors, and friends are crucial to a satisfying life, as are our relationships with ourselves.

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.

After rescuing some broken marriages, I believe that anyone can do it as long as you're willing to hope and believe. I use solution-focused and experiential, emotion-focused approaches, which are evidence-based. I respect the value of marriage and commitment.

I have over 29 years of experience helping people and their families cope with a wide variety of relationship changes, adjustment, grief and loss. Using your strengths, I will help you work through these difficult changes to help you manage their impact.
