Marriage ~ Couples ~ Relationship Counseling & Therapy

To achieve your goals requires commitment to your relationship. One way to demonstrate and practice your commitment is through frequent sessions which allow your therapist to repeatedly witness your relationship patterns, interrupt harmful patterns, and encourage helpful ones. Meeting weekly encourages a depth of familiarity and trust between you and your partner and between you as a couple and your therapist. Safe and compassionate relationships are what facilitate the changes you desire.

I work to understand both you and your partner as individuals so I can help you relate with yourself and with your partner in new ways that improve your relationship. I want both of you to experience me as respectful and curious about your unique perspectives, supporting the individual clarity each of you needs, to make decisions together for the betterment of your relationship. Effective couple therapy is a function of my skillful application of these and other skills (like maintaining an emotionally safe environment) and your commitment in learning to reveal your authentic feelings to your partner with compassion and kindness.

There are many ways in which couple therapy is different from individual therapy. In short, effective couple therapy keeps the focus on the client-couple’s relationship patterns which takes skill to consistently follow, maintain, and interpret.
