Couples Counseling

Couples Counseling

Losing the support and understanding of one’s partner is painful.  Anger or withdrawal is common.  When addressing the problem with your partner leads to more conflict or alienation, couples counseling can be helpful.

My ultimate goal is to empower couples to discuss their problems in a way that facilitates empathy and understanding, rather than anger and animosity.  I create a supportive environment to help couples hear each other’s pain, understand the dynamics perpetuating their mutual dissatisfaction, and find the will to rebuild their intimacy.

During couples counseling, I will identify the core issues underlying the conflict, uncover unexpressed emotions and unacknowledged needs, teach partners how to constructively express their wants, and create new solutions to old problems.
