Couples Therapy is my Specialty! 90% of my practice is couples therapy. I work with couples who are newly married, getting remarried, recently had a baby, been together for 20 + years, gay couples, straight couples, couples who have been distressed for many years and couples who are only beginning to notice cracks and hoping to get in front of it. I also help couples who have decided to end their relationship.
Together we figure out what are the areas of strength in your relationship and what are areas that need improvement. We will look at the patterns and cycles of communication and conflict that trip you up and cause you to stop hearing one another. Read More
Pre and Post Baby Couples Therapy
I work very well along side couples who recently became parents. This is literally the most challenging time in a couples relationship. Emotional closeness, affection and intimacy are often the first things to go when a new baby arrives, which leads to tension, conflict and emotional disengagement and loneliness. It is important for couples to find this again so that they do not begin living parallel lives and they become business partners instead of loving, intimate, lifelong partners. Read More
Stepfamily Therapy
Being a stepmom, stepdaughter and stepsister myself, I have a unique understanding of the dynamics involved within stepfamilies. However when studying marriage and family therapy in graduate school, I noticed that many of the theories overlooked the unique structure of the step family unit. Having grown up with stepparents and now being a stepparent myself, I did not see where my family fit into these family counseling theories. I recognized then that each family type is distinct from the other and needs to be treated as such. Read More
