Since 1990 I've helped couples create loving, lasting relationships. A pre-marital inventory (FOCCUS or PREPARE) pinpoints relationship strengths, and helps resolve conflicts. PREP communication and problem-solving skills let you both win. PREP Couples have greater satisfaction and 1/2 the divorce risk. Feel like giving up? Couple counseling identifies the real problems and how to resolve them. Kids driving you crazy? Love & Logic strategies keep you calm, firm and kind as kids develop respect, responsibility and self-esteem. Individual counseling helps you overcome anger, depression, fears, stress; develop assertivenes, self-esteem, social comfort, willpower.
From session #1, I give you tools to build the life YOU want. "Therapy should not be endless exploration, but results, relief and renewed hope. My Training: B.A. in Psychology; M.S. in Counseling; plus 2 years of Adlerian Psychology; training in Brief, Solution-Oriented Therapy; and certification in mediation.
I've studied with these relationship gurus: Markman, Notarius & Stanley (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program); Harville Hendrix (Getting the Love You Want); David Olson (PREPARE & ENRICH); John Gottman (The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work); Sherod & Phyllis Miller (Couple Communication); Michele Weiner-Davis (Divorce Busting); Michael & Harriet McManus (Marriage Savers) & others.

The Couples Coach also hosts the following groups:
$20+ per session
Have you wondered what other couples struggle with, and how they cope? Have you wanted to talk openly with other people in committed relationships and find out what works for them? I am considering creating a group for couples who want to improve and maintain a loving, lasting relationship. You need not be in private counseling with me to participate. Our approach will be mainly educational, focusing on constructive communication, as well as how to improve your relationship without talking about it. We will also deal with problems from your parents and siblings. Call to be part of the new group.
