Couples Counseling

For the past 30 years, I have helped countless couples resolve ongoing conflicts and restore their emotional connection. I offer counseling not only for couples who are married but for those who are unmarried and simply want to improve their relationship. I work with couples who are unmarried in much the same way I work with married couples (see my homepage).  While the process is very similar across Couples Counseling, Premarital Counseling, and Marriage Counseling, it is important to note that each is focused on a different stage of the relationship.

As in marital relationships, unmarried couples can experience an endless cycle of arguments, with even the smallest thing leading to a prolonged battle of who is right and who is wrong.  Sometimes, it is difficult to understand why such things are happening in your relationship despite the fact that you started it right. Where did the intimacy go?  Why do our differences seem so irresolvable? In couples counseling, I can help you make sense out of what is happening between you and help you restore the emotional connection you are both longing for.

I have been a licensed marriage/couples counselor for 30 years.  Drawing from my training in Emotional Focused Therapy for Couples, the Gottman Method, and Family Systems Therapy, I employ a practical, collaborative and emotionally supportive approach to couples counseling to help you stop the negative cycle in your relationship and strengthen your commitment. I will help you discover how you keep misunderstanding each other and undermining your emotional needs for trust and intimacy.  I focus on the strengths of each relationship and then work towards its improvement.  As a couples counselor, I strive to promote positivity through healthy communication and trust-building.  This is my commitment: to give you every chance to save your relationship.,
