I work with couples and families at different stages of their shared journey – dating, moving in together, marriage, contemplating separation or divorce, raising a family together, co-parenting, launching teens into adulthood, and adjusting to retirement.

Reasons to Seek Couples or Family Therapy

Here are a few reasons to schedule a relational therapy session:

• relationship conflicts
• communications challenges
• pre-marital counseling
• difficulties with in-laws and extended family members
• multi-ethnic and interracial relationships
• conflicts around monogamy and infidelity
• grief and loss of a child or loved one
• conflicts over major life decisions
• work/life balance in the relationship
• differing expectations around sex and intimacy
• transitioning to parenthood
• learning to co-parent successfully after a separation or divorce
• parenting difficulties

My relational therapy sessions are generally extended to 75 minutes.

This provides additional time so partners and family members can each have the opportunity to express themselves in the session. My role is to align myself with each participant in the therapy session, facilitate communication and understanding, and support clients in being heard and valued within their relationship or family.
