“The most empowering relationships are those in which each partner lifts the other to a higher possession of their own being.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Problems in a relationship can drain you, but, so often, they can also be helped. Couples leave my office with concrete suggestions and homework. I am collaborative, working as a team with you to define your goals and explore understanding and attitudinal or behavioral changes that will bring you greater relationship satisfaction.
I provide a compassionate environment so you feel safe to disclose your innermost concerns. Couples learn to nurture, supportively listen to and understand each other’s feelings and needs. Learning to empower your partner to meet your needs is the key.
All couples have problems; it is normal. We bring our prior life into the relationship and have to meld two cultures, as it were, together. Affairs, parenting problems, addictions, unmet expectations, sexual and financial problems—all these can threaten a relationship. But often, with understanding and new skills, a couple can learn to stay connected.

Learning to be emotionally and sexually intimate, to handle conflict well, to cooperatively parent and manage money, to communicate with one another effectively—these are the relationship skills long-lasting unions must include.
I offer 50-minute relationship counseling on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis, along with intense relationship sessions, from 2-4 hours long, which include a deep focus on a couple's issues, as well as testing and education to promote understanding.
