Couples

At any point in a relationship, couples can experience challenges that are difficult for them to resolve on their own. If you are facing such challenges, an experienced and skilled counselor can often help.  I have had extensive training/experience in mediation as well as couples therapy which enables me to guide you as you make tough changes and decisions.

In addition to my regular work with couples, I am certified in working with couples affected by Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger’s can create unique challenges for couples, but education and specialized treatment can make all the difference. Read more about my work with Asperger’s couples. 

I am biased in the direction of salvaging relationships. This is based on my experience and research which documents that the fact that we will simply repeat the same patterns with new partners if we don’t address our own role in the current relationship. I can also recognize when it is time for parties to chart another path, and while I will not tell you what to do, I will assist you in making healthy decisions.

Couples can benefit greatly from having the help and guidance of an experienced and skilled third party whether they want to improve or dissolve their relationship. Whether you are uncertain or divided on the future of your marriage or relationship, I can help. I have had extensive training/experience in mediation as well as couples therapy which enables me to guide you as you make tough changes and decisions.
