Couples therapy is for helping you resolve what you perceive is the problem. As the couple therapist, I act as a guide or consultant, viewing the problem in different ways to deepen your understanding of it. As you all deepen your understanding of what is going as a couple, we are also finding ways to strengthen your ability to fix or manage the issue. It is important to note that each individual of the couple has their own past experiences and perspectives that are important and relevant to the conversation. So part of couples therapy is emphasizing the unique dynamic that you all create together.

When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Healthy relationships are extremely important to our happiness, health and well-being. In couples therapy, it is my ultimate goal to help both of you to come to a full and deep understanding of one another. Often times, couples get into disputes because of a lack of understanding of one another which can be due to time constraints, family difficulties, lack of knowledge of one another's beliefs, etc. In therapy, we will explore each person's background, beliefs and perspectives, and we will negotiate both so that they can work together in harmony. We will also look at the particular issue(s) that you have sought therapy and will work on remedying it by reestablishing an emotional connection.
