Couples Counseling

I love it when people bring their yelling into session. No, really, I do. Not that we let it last, but that way, I know that people are honestly letting me get a first peek at the "nitty gritty" details of what is coming between them. I quickly provide a safe and comfortably paced space to hold the pain, but also and most importantly, for all the hope that can be nurtured within each couple, for the respect and understanding that people yearn for as they venture into the important work of couples therapy.

I know it hurts so much at the start, for many people, especially if there has been betrayal on any level, loss of trust, and hurtful, angry or abusive content — with all these being the very opposite of how you originally presumed your relationship would go.

Truly, we can pretty much fix these things across time, if both people are willing, or, we can find a way to humanistically decouple, if need be. We jointly take each person's position and feelings into a safe and caring realm, working to achieve mutual respect, understanding, solutions, and progress toward the best outcome achievable.

I look forward to your call about a consultation, and I know that relationship issues are so tender, so full of promise and yet plagued with pained disappointment. I'm here to support, guide, and jointly work hard on weaving an outcome that is most optimal. ​
