I enjoy my experience with couples. I work with many couples from a variety of backgrounds. Some are dating and considering commitment. Many are married and hope to regain their essence and feel joy and strength from the relationship. Some have experienced infidelity and issues of trust, and others feel stuck in cycles of anger and closeness. When I work with couples, I work in a balanced way. We don’t focus on blame or fault. We start from the present and over time look back so you understand what brought you together, how you get stuck and ways to move beyond. We will work together to help you better understand yourselves and each other. Along the way. you will learn to hear and appreciate each other’s perspectives, and also feel heard. You will work to create new options and find more joy.
