Couples Counseling

Every couple has a story. The thought of sharing it with someone else can often elicit feelings of vulnerability. While seeking couples counseling can be a difficult decision, it implies you have inherent strength and courage to be willing to enhance or change your “story” – with help.

Whether your relationship is new or you have been together for years, now is a good time to hit “pause” and reaffirm your intentions.  Rediscovering what brought you together in the first place – as well as what you each admire in a healthy relationship – we will craft a new vision for your partnership and discuss what gets in the way, so you can thoughtfully proceed in ways that restore, rather than hinder, connection.

When One Partner Resists, Consider Individual Counseling

Many times one partner in a couple is more inclined than the other to see couples counseling as part of the solution. When this happens, it can be frustrating – for both partners. I encourage partners in these cases to consider individual counseling for support. Whether we ever commence couples counseling or not, my hope is that we will have fortified your personal support system and coping skills during a challenging time.

Diversity and Relationships:

I welcome all couples regardless of background, sexual orientation, or lifestyle.

Also, while couples who seek counseling are most often in a romantic relationship, people often need to partner for many reasons – to amicably navigate a parting of ways, for example, or to work well together on a special project or business. Counseling can benefit any relationship in which it behooves two individuals to work together toward a common goal.
