I work with straight, gay, married and unmarried couples in therapy. My approach to couples therapy encompasses a number of things:

  • Providing a safe space in which to explore and share difficult feelings with each other
  • Facilitating better communication by enhancing listening and expressive skills
  • Exploring individual and family histories to better understand the nature of the couple's dynamics
  • Identifying current stressors and triggers and working to resolve impasses.

In my work with couples I integrate a psychodynamic understanding with elements of Imago Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Collaborative Couples Therapy.

If you are struggling with a relationship problem, I invite you to read the following article by Dan Wile, founder of Collaborative Couples Therapy. I hope you find it helpful.

"Opening Up a Second Level in the Relationship"

I was recently interviewed for two on-line articles on Couples' Counseling. Here are the links, I hope you enjoy them.

"Do You Need a Love Contract?"

"Before You Call the Lawyer: Alternatives to Divorce"
