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.  Please see my Video page to hear me talk about my work with couples.

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.
