Couples counseling strives to find the source of conflict in a marriage or partnership and looks to replace the patterns that are not working for you with new ways of communicating.

I give couples a space to get to know each other’s internal worlds. With my support, couples gain understanding of each other, and learn new strategies to use during times of stress and conflict. Sometimes the couple will gain skills and decide to stay together, and other times the couple will choose to separate, using the counseling to support them through either process..

When couples counseling begins during a separation, we can provides a space to work through problems that feel insurmountable alone. As a child development specialist, I help parents decide how to support one’s children through the challenges specific to your family’s situation.
