Couples Counseling
About Therapy
I strongly believe that therapy works. I provide Couples Counseling using a researched method that improves couples satisfaction with their relationships and their partners.
Common issues addressed in therapy:
- Lack of intimacy/lack of closeness
- Problems with sex
- Affairs
- Problems with money
- Parenting
- Growing apart
- Loneliness
Principles of therapy
- Therapy will be about your relationship and how to improve it.
- I will listen to your goals and ideas about therapy and we will work from there.
- I will listen to you both and support you both equally. You each have unique and often very different perspectives on your problems. I want to understand what it is like for each of you.
- I primarily work in the present. We will look at present interactions, how they occur and how to change them.
- Change is possible.
Therapy Style
- I work from a systems perspective which means issues do not exist in isolation but in the context of families, communities, and cultures.
- I am heavily influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy, which recognizes how important our partners are, helps recognize and change negative cycles, and re-establishes supportive bonds between partners.
- I use methods that are empirically validated by research to be effective for helping couples immediately with results that last.
