I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1983. For the past fifteen years one third of my clients have been couples. I am particularly concerned about married couples, because unlike other relationships within the family, it is voluntary and hence more vulnerable to stresses that can pull it apart. My approach tends to stay focused in the present and seek workable solutions. I aim to be sensitive, respectful, and empathetic to each partner. In addition, I believe it is important for couples to acknowledge and celebrate the years and experiences they have shared together. I do not have a single approach that fits all couples. In therapy I focus on recovering what was pleasing in the past, exploring and implementing new ways of relating, acquiring new skills in communication and conflict resolution, identifying individual and couple strengths, learning from your current struggles, and possibly accepting what we may not be able to change. My commitment to you is to assist you in building a relationship of mutual respect, care, and affection.
