Couples / Marriage Therapy

Intimate partner relationships were designed to provide support, encouragement, partnership, companionship, emotional closeness and sexual intimacy. When any of these fundamental needs are not met, cracks in the relationship begin to show. Many of the “cracks” or issues treated in therapy are communication problems, poor conflict management, relationship anger, unforgiveness, resentment, emotional disconnection, loneliness, emotional affairs, sexual intimacy struggles and sexual affairs.  Couples / marriage therapy helps bring the needs of the relationship into focus as it provides a set time to come together and discuss the issues in a structured and productive environment.  Thoroughly understanding and resolving the issues includes examining the impact of family upbringing on the current relationship interactions and both partners taking responsibility for what they contribute to the relationship. The tools, skills and insights offered to clients have been acquired through years of formal study, clinical training and my own marital relationship journey of 25 years.  I look forward to teaching, guiding and supporting you in pursuit of relationship health and wholeness.
