Marriage Counseling

Life is so busy. There are chores to do, work to do, you have to take care of the kids, and fix the car and see the in-laws. There seems to me so many things to do that time to focus on your relationship seems impossible. You might be feeling a little distant from your partner but think that this must be “normal”. You have been together so long, you are no longer in the honeymoon phase, right?

Should you stay or should you go? No other question carries this much weight; it's almost suffocating. The pain of things remaining the same is just too much. But, the risks associated with making massive changes also paralyze you. I get it. There are reasons to work on the relationship, and there are reasons to close the door behind you. You've built a life together: kids, careers, investments. Life isn't so simple to end it all right now; life is complicated.

Relationships are tough! In working through relationship challenges, I will help you to explore patterns, relational traumas, and family impact to support you in understanding the current state of your relationship. Using evidence-based practices, I can help you identify and shift the communication patterns that you and your partner have been knowingly or unknowingly participating in.

I have been working with couples for over 15 years who range from struggling deeply to premarital counseling. Couples counseling topics often include communication, sex, finances, in-laws, affairs, parenting, and a number of other issues that might be problematic for your relationship. Couples counseling tends to be a little more directive than individual in that there will be a lot more work to be done between sessions in order to get your relationship to where you want it.

Relationship issues can include anything from a new romantic relationship, a recent breakup, or relationship issues between friends or family members. Relationship issues can also include an overall difficulty maintaining relationships or fear or commitment. We'll discuss relationship history and current relationships to identify patterns that might be keeping you feeling stuck.

Working with couples in non-monogamous and monogamous relationships is one of the most incredible experiences. I treat couples through the lens of Esther Perel's work as well as the Gottman's research.

As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I provide a safe space for couples to explore their concerns, improve communication, and rebuild trust. I work collaboratively to develop effective strategies for conflict resolution, intimacy enhancement, and relationship growth. I specialize in premarital, high conflict, infidelity, and ethically non-monogamous relationships.

If you are in a committed relationship and struggling with communication, problem solving skills, and or emotional regulation I am here to help. I work with couples who are in conflict, working through infidelity, and or just looking to maintain a successful healthy relationship.

I am trained in Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy and the Gottman Method.

As a relational psychotherapist, I have grown to become a keen observer of relational patterns; essentially, how people are showing up in their relationships.

I am not sure what you have read or who you follow about your relationship, but I would venture it is probably terrible advice. A relationship is built upon a simple logic statement. "I'll do this for you if you do this for me". This is the basis of what a relationship is. If this "work" of your relationship is not hashed out specifically, measurably and to both partners understanding as satisfaction you will have relationship issues. I help you work out the quid-pro-quo of your relationship.
