Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy is not only the ability to learn to communicate more effectively, it is the ability to learn about what you as an individual need from an intimate relationship and what you are willing to contribute to make that relationship unfold.

Most people assume that the role I play as a therapist is to keep couples together. Perhaps that is what many therapists do however, I find that effective couples therapy can uncover discover and learn if the relationship you are in is where you should stay.

I want you to get a sense of what I believe in regarding relationships before you get started.

I believe in an enormous amount of effort when a commitment is made.

I believe in commitment.

I believe in separate as well as mutual growth.

I believe that people change over time and that either a relationship will bend with the changes, or it will break.

I believe in marriage, and if there are children involved, the children’s well being comes before all else.

I am a facilitator that fosters a safe, mutually respectful environment to enable the participants to engage in deep and thoughtful communication; to establish boundaries; to wonder and dream aloud; to discuss truthful disappointments, regrets and behaviors in an attempt to elicit realistic goals and chart a road to possibility. This may be the possibility to stay united, or to separate. This process fosters clarity of thought and conscious decision making.
