For 40 years, David has helped people take mediocre, or struggling relationships, and turn them around , so that you both can experience the love you desire. David does not believe in "couples counseling", rather, he works with each persons challenges within the relationship which helps them heal quicker. His fully unique indivdual approach to couples counseling completely sets his healing program apart from most other professionals. his success rate is incredible. Before you give up on your relationship, work with David to see what type of resentments might be lying underneath, that need to be dealt with. Or how our passive aggressive behavior is destroying our current relationship.

As marriage and family Therapist, I have specialized training to work with couples. I assist couples in more than communication. I help them build connection, which is the glue of a relationship. All relationships can get into a negative pattern, but without a secure bond the relationship can spin out of control. I assist couples in learning about each partners attachment style and help the couple build healthy problem solving skills through bonding. I offer premarital counseling with an online assessment. If you want to improve a longterm relationship, or heal wounds of infidelity, lets get to the heart of the matter. We all want to know we are important to our partner.

Couples counseling can be scary… Making the choice to try couples counseling is a big step that two people take together. It means admitting things are not perfect in your relationship, and that can be scary. Relationships are hard. Even when you’ve found the “perfect” partner and fall deeply in love. Nothing is ever really perfect when it involves bringing two diverse individuals together. Relationships shift and change over time. Life happens. Maybe you’ve experienced a life-altering event such as a major illness, loss of your home or job, maybe even the heartbreaking loss of a child. Events such as these can test and demolish even the strongest relationship.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

“You are my Happy.” More than different cultures, genders, and sexual orientation, the potential of each partner and dedication to invest into the relationship matters. To have a relationship where you are appreciated for who you are, your value is praised, where you experience an intimate level of trust, fully saturating intimacy, and where you are getting your messages across, you have to take care. The couples therapy focuses on a change of the perspective of the relationship, modification of dysfunctional behavior, balancing of emotional engagement, improvement of communication, conflict resolution strategies, and promoting strengths.
