Couples Therapy

Couples tend to come to counseling when they are in serious trouble.  Often a significant amount of pain and suffering has been endured for some time.  Sometimes the couple has grown apart and the partners have lost feelings for each other.  My task is to work to heal these wounds, explore how the couple got off track and teach new strategies for a more satisfying relationship.

Sometimes when a couple starts therapy, their long-standing difficulties have been greatly overshadowed by a betrayal through an emotional or physical affair. The unrelenting pain this breech causes typically triggers deeper wounds that can complicate the healing process. With help, a couple can work to not only heal the damage of the affair, but also become better partners in living with how our past can shackle us. Through this process each person becomes a better caretaker of their own challenges as well as a willing comrade in their partner’s on-going growth.
