Practice Description
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are struggling with personal or relational challenges. I work with high conflict couples, including those who have considered separation or divorce. My approach focuses on helping couples resolve destructive cycles of interaction and communication that produce distress. I also examine attachment needs and primary emotions, and works to strengthen the foundation by which individuals find love, support, connection, and safety. I further help couples increase respect, affection, closeness, understanding, communication and conflict resolution skills. I use my certification in Prepare/Enrich to help “prepare” premarital couples for successful marriages, and to “enrich” the relationships of those who are dating or married. When couples have made the decision to separate/divorce, I work closely with parents and/or their children in order to help each family member cope with this transition and life change. When families are struggling to blend together as a step-family, I work with couples, children, and/or the whole family to navigate this successfully.
