I can help you
Using skills and expertise developed over 40 years of couples counseling, I effectively address a wide range of relationship issues. Couples therapy individualized to meet your unique needs can improve communication and transform destructive relationship patterns to bring about lasting change and enhanced relationship satisfaction. You and your partner can both get more of what you want, need and deserve.
For over 30 years I have specialized in relationship therapy
During my graduate training in the 1970’s, I focused on relationships: marital therapy, family therapy, sex therapy and helping people through the difficult process of separation and divorce.
I have deepened my expertise in relationship therapy through certification in the Imago Therapy© work developed by Harville Hendrix, author of the book, Getting the Love You Want.
I specialize in helping couples through the crisis of infidelity, to create a relationship stronger than before.
Transform Destructive Relationship Patterns
When you’ re stuck in destructive relationship patterns it can be hard to find your way out.

I can help you transform destructive relationship patterns into patterns that work for both of you, so you both get more of what you want, need and deserve. You really can enjoy your relationship again!

Communication Training
An essential part of most couples counseling is helping partners improve their communication skills through communication training.
Communication training provides an atmosphere of safety and trust in which past hurts are released, conflicts are resolved and animosity is replaced by understanding and compassion.

Infidelity – The End of a Relationship or a New Beginning?
The discovery of infidelity in a relationship precipitates a crisis which can  lead to the end of the relationship – or a new beginning. It all depends on how the situation is handled.
Working your way through this challenging and difficult process is easier with the help of a guide who knows the territory. I have helped scores of couples emerge from the crisis of infidelity with a strengthened commitment and new faith in their relationship.

Premarital Counseling
You’re ready to commit to marriage but some aspects of the relationship just don’t feel completely right. Premarital counseling provides the skills and awareness to deal with challenging relationship issues, creating confidence in yourself, your partner and your relationship.
Sex Therapy
I have 30 years of experience treating sexual dysfunction, both male
- Premature ejaculation
- Erectile dysfunction
And female
- Primary and secondary orgasmic dysfunction.
Through a systematic behavioral program of home practice, my clients learn to overcome the performance anxiety that usually underlies sexual dysfunction and achieve a mutually satisfying sexual relationship.
Family Therapy
 I extend the same solution oriented approach I use in couples work to my work with larger family units. Communications training and helping people to identify what they can do differently to make things better for the entire family are important aspects of this work.
I specialize in working with blended families – families that have formed after the divorce of one or both of the marital partners. The special challenges of the step-parent and child relationship provide remarkable opportunities for learning and growth.
Separation and Divorce Counseling
There are situations in which ending a relationship that is satisfying to neither partner is the best outcome. In these instances, counseling can be extremely helpful to one or both of the individuals to support them through the sometimes difficult transition through the break up to life after the relationship.
I help people make sense of what went wrong in their relationship. In this way they can use the break up as an opportunity for learning and growth. My clients develop confidence in their ability to re-partner free of the patterns that undermined their earlier relationship. Many also develop unrealized capabilities once free of the restrictions of their dysfunctional marriage. |
