Looking for help with your relationship?
If you and your partner are having difficulty communicating,
If you don’t have the level of trust or intimacy you’re looking for in your relationship,
If it feels like your relationship has more conflict than connection,
Or if it’s just gotten so bad that you’re thinking about leaving your relationship,
…then I’d like to take a minute of your time to tell you about how counseling can help.

Relationship Teleclasses
I'm developing a series of 1-hour classes on different relationship topics. While I'm still ironing out details, my hope is to schedule them beginning in March. E-mail me if you're interested, and I'll let you know details when topics and dates are set.
Relationships bring us some of the best and worst moments of our lives. Relationships require hard work, as well as skills that you may never have been taught or had the opportunity to learn. The good news is that these skills can be learned, and those skills will help you have a happier, closer relationship.
1) Learn to recognize and change the destructive interaction patterns in your relationship.
2) New communication skills to improve intimacy, trust, and the ability to communicate your wants and needs to your partner.
3) Learn how television, movies, and books have distorted your view of what’s ‘normal’ and ‘healthy’ and created unrealistic expectations that harm your relationship.
4) Gain a greater awareness of the choices you face in your relationship on a daily basis and learning how to make choices that support the long term relationship outcome you are seeking.
5) Develop a greater understanding of how your life experience has influenced how you approach relationships and what you expect from them.
I typically see couples together for weekly sessions, but some couples find a different arrangement to be more effective - we’ll work together to develop a plan that’s right for you. The number of sessions that a couple comes for varies – it may just be a few, or they may come see me for a number of months, depending on the nature of their concerns and how quickly they are able to integrate the tools they learn into their relationship.

We’ll focus on your desired outcome
In our counseling sessions I’m going to do a lot more than sit and listen - I see my role as a supportive teacher and coach, helping you create the kind of relationship you want. I’ll also use your feedback along the way to help make sure we’re on the right track.I typically see couples together for weekly sessions, but some couples find a different arrangement to be more effective - we’ll work together to develop a plan that’s right for you.
