Couples Therapy

Working with couples has taught me that each individual truly has something invaluable to offer the process of change in relationships. Typically one member of a couple is more motivated to seek support and feels the relationship is no longer tolerable without intervention. However, creating effective and lasting change requires the commitment of both individuals. The starting point for this change is a desire for a different way of relating; a craving to rewrite the script of communication that has not allowed the kind of closeness that people seek. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am uniquely trained to track patterns of relating that have caused couples to become “stuck” in repetitive and useless patterns of communicating. I challenge couples to become more authentic with one another and to take risks toward a deeper and more intimate connection. Through the use of couples assessment tools, interactive dialogue, solution-focused problem-solving and experiential activities, I incorporate a caring, empathetic presence with creative interventions while working in the “present” more than the past.
