My approach is collaborative, supportive, practical, and focused on helping you reach your goals. Fault-finding or blaming is not necessary and is often counter-productive. We’ll work to improve communication, increase understanding and support, establish trust and safety, and build positive moments of relating that strengthen your marital connection. I focus on strengths, rather than emphasizing weaknesses. You’ll find that I am supportive and easy to talk with, and that therapy will be thought-provoking, enjoyable, stimulating, sometimes humorous, and at times, challenging. My goal is to help couples regenerate their connection. I actively teach you how to stop your negative interactions and meet each other's emotional needs. In so doing I can help you shape conversations to foster a secure lasting bond and be with one another in a more positive nurturing way. One of my favorite poets, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote: "Love . . . consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other." I am actively committed to helping couples restore and sustain that kind of mutually nurturing love.If you're engaged and seeking premarital work, see my website.
