Couples

My psychotherapy practice focuses on relational issues for couples seeking guidance in embarking on a committed path together.

Pre-Marital Counseling
Making a commitment to a loved one is an amazing and life changing event. Discussing the future in a safe, respectful, and honoring space is a healthy way to prepare for any type of union, be it marriage or domestic partnership.

Pre-marital counseling can be strengthening, healing, and ultimately brings couples closer as they address concerns and speak honestly and openly about their feelings in a safe space.

Couples Counseling
The dynamic between two loving partners changes over the arc of time and learning to be in that time together in the best way is an art. At the heart of this dynamic is trust, honesty, and love.

It makes sense that this art is a practice that needs to be nurtured every day.

When there is difficulty in this practice, or when a breakdown in the heart of the relationship occurs, couples therapy is a helpful way to check in and rebuild good, positive, and effective communication between partners.

It is not about blaming, nor is it only for couples who are having difficulty in their relationships.

I do not work with couples where there is presently domestic abuse.
