Couples therapy

Who do you work with in couples therapy?

I work with couples (from the straight and LGBTQ communities) in all stages of relationships: dating, living together, engaged, married, separated, and divorcing. Therapy can address relationship transitions (moving in together, getting married, having children, relationship endings), intimacy, trust issues, infidelity, child-rearing conflicts, financial problems, career changes, relocation, extended family conflicts, blending families and/or dysfunctional patterns of behavior.

How can my partner and I benefit from couples therapy?

Depending upon your goals for treatment, couples therapy may address the following topics:

Reducing conflict
Enhancing problem-solving and decision-making skills
Learning to communicate more effectively
Renewing experiences of love, friendship, and intimacy
Working through hurt feelings and unresolved issues
Deepening understanding, respect and appreciation of one another
Building mutual trust
Learning how to effectively support one another
