My therapeutic approach works with Individuals, couples, families and groups seeking to have a more integrated way to live their lives while facing the challenges that can interfere with that goal. I am a psycho-dynamically trained psychologist who finds that initially focusing on symptom relief helps the individual begin the healing process. My work centers on assisting the individual or groups to break free from past issues that interfere with the present and that may impact the future. My many years as a former psychology professor and practicing psychologist has informed my practice with the latest techniques in mental health.

In my view, the techniques of therapy are secondary to the relationship that develops between two people searching for understanding.
I am a straightforward person who values humor and compassion in relationships. I will not dispense advice but will challenge you to think about yourself in new ways, encourage you to look at yourself honestly and talk about painful issues that you keep at a distance. My role is to help you figure out what needs to change in your life and then help you make those changes.The goal is for you to develop trust in your own wisdom and judgment so that you learn to look inside yourself for the answers you seek.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
