My Expert Service
|
|
We all need some help at different points in our lives. Our lovers and partners can evoke the greatest joy and connection in us and at other times the deepest sadness or most fiery anger.
Understanding this mystery, and how to maximize the positive aspects of your relationship, while dealing with the negative is what we do in couples counseling.
My work with you is not all complex, in fact it is quite practical. I work with couples on their communication skills, setting their own boundaries, asking for what they want before it is a crisis, and making choices that support their relationship rather than undermining it.
Whether you are from a "happy" family or not, a "dysfunctional" family or not, each of us grows up with strengths, weaknesses, and coping strategies for getting through life. As we face diverse challenges and opportunities as an adult, it's a great time to re-balance those skills. I believe that each person has the potential for a rich, fulfilling life.
