Some of our most delicate and important relationships involve our identity as a couple or a family. Like a waterbed where one person's movement can greatly effect all the others present, I believe that this holds true in couple and family dynamics. I'm here to help you.

I specialize in relationships, individually and with couples. Very often anxiety, addiction, codependence, and culture clashes are also in the mix. I use Gottman, and Marshall Rosenberg's work for communication & conflict resolution. I will be available all of August

Grounded in a compassionate approach, the work supports couples and families in understanding the patterns that keep them stuck and in strengthening the connection beneath them. Emphasis is placed on emotional safety, clear communication, & tending to the deeper wounds.

The marital relationship is a tug of war for power and control. Relationships need to permit the expression of emotions otherwise anger can leave the couple in a state of despair and confusion. Take responsibility, leaving blame behind, leads to relationship repair.

We work with couples to help them reconnect by breaking destructive patterns of relating and teaching them specific strategies to communicate more effectively.

My approach to marriage, couples, and family counseling is solution-oriented. Highly trained and experienced, I give clients strategies, tools, and techniques to find the solutions that make a positive difference in their relationships.

Couples who experience distance or disconnect can find their way back to connection and repair with nourishing attention to the relationship. I offer a safe space for partners to recover from their hurts and return to the closeness they each want to experience together.
