Is your relationship in a rut? Do you feel confused about your partner's actions and motives? Is resentment becoming the rule rather than the exception?

Counseling will help you to set your relationship in the direction of your choice. If you are not sure about what direction to take in your relationship, counseling can help you to get clear about what you want and what you need to do. Our work together will involve developing and practicing communication and listening skills and setting boundaries, as well as learning when and how to bring up issues before they become overwhelming to the relationship. Primarily, we will work on developing the ability to make choices that will enrich rather than undermine your relationship.

Since the past informs the present, the deeper work in therapy is in realizing the core issues that trigger reactivity within the relationship. Developing mindfulness helps you to notice what you are feeling and enables you to make the best choice in the moment.

I maintain a network of quality therapists who address couples topics that are outside my specialty area, specifically, domestic violence. I work closely with professionals who can evaluate my clients in order to prescribe anti-depressants, anxiety drugs or other medications.
