I bring to my private practice 36 years of experience and training in couple dynamics, attachment, sexuality and family systems. When couples first contact me, they have often been struggling with strained, stuck and reactive relationship patterns for a long time. They have hurt one another by attempting various ineffective solutions such as fighting-to-win, resentful compliance, disengagement, dulled sexual desire, infidelities, freezing in hopelessness. These are all an attempt to manage the anxiety and discomfort often inherent in long-term relationship challenges. Naturally, there is discouragement and worry.
While there are no quick fixes, I offer effective tools to help you grow the relationship you want. I work in a warm, direct and collaborative manner to help couples move through painful obstacles to find a deeper, more relaxed and more enduring emotional and sexual intimacy. Sessions in my office feel engaged, active and hopeful.
I also provide consultation to clinicians dealing with difficult couple cases in their own practices.
