“Intimate relationships can be among life's most rewarding and most difficult experiences. My specialties are: 1) couples counseling, and; 2) helping people struggling with being single again after divorce, widowhood or a painful breakup. COUPLES: Do you repeatedly have hurtful arguments that started out as trivial spats? Are you lonely and feel your partner isn't there for you? I help couples communicate their relationship pain, move away from "attack and defend" mode and find new ways to live together lovingly and respectfully. We also explore personality typology to identify partners' areas of similarity and difference.

INDIVIDUALS: As a newly single person, you would undoubtedly benefit from therapy if you're experiencing intense emotional pain, such as the depression and anxiety that often accompany grief. Therapy is also best if you need to delve into the past to examine unhealthy relationship patterns or heal emotional wounds.

Coaching might better suit your needs if you are relatively emotionally well-adjusted to being single again but need help with current pragmatic issues, such as learning to manage activities your former partner handled, dealing with financial or family challenges, and getting back into the dating world.”
