Couples Therapy

The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.

The instinct to have a loving and passionate relationship comes naturally for most, but the ability to do so requires learning, healing, and growth.

Because most of us were never taught how to create and sustain thriving romantic partnerships, it’s no surprise that confusion, conflict, disappointment, distance, loneliness, and heartache are all too common.

The good news is that the art and skills of love can be learned. More than forty years of relationship research have revealed core skills that create lasting safety, trust, intimacy, and passion.  This research-based foundation is at the heart of my approach to couples therapy.  With a strong foundation, a world of possibilities opens up.

Whatever your circumstances, you can master the skills for a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

Whether you’re hoping to:

• Make a good relationship great
• Heal and rebuild after a rupture
• Or gain clarity about whether to part with understanding and compassion-

Couples therapy can help.

I offer an empowering, practical approach.

Together, we:

1. Establish honesty, emotional safety, and fairness from the start
2. Clarify both of your true needs, wants, and desires
3. Transform conflict into understanding and connection
4. Expand your ability to give and receive true and whole love

Whether you’re in a straight, queer, curly, kinky, monogamous, monogamish, or open relationship—whether you identify as masculine, feminine, both, or beyond—the potential for a healthy, thriving relationship lives within you.  When you become someone worthy of trust, true love will follow.

Steeled for the worst, you may be surprised to discover the best.
