While I offer a range of counseling services, I focus most of my work on relational challenges. I use a thorough and purposeful assessment of your relationship dynamics as the groundwork to understanding the presenting issues. Once understood, these patterns can be disrupted, and new, rewarding interactions can be engaged.
Marital Crisis - Ranging from communication impasses to the painful aftermath of an affair, marital crises can become a significant catalyst to change and growth in a marriage when both partners face the obstacles together.
Divorce Issues - Divorce may be one of the most difficult challenges a person ever faces. Whether in the process of deciding to divorce, actively divorcing, or picking up the pieces after your divorce, counseling can be a place to sort through this difficult life transition.
Remarried and Step-Family Dynamics - Step-families are a rich and complex array of loyalties, expectations, and changes that can create significant stress on the marriage relationship. With a courageous commitment to mastering certain skills, your marriage relationship can become a first-class success.
Marriage Preparation - Premarital education "is associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction..." according to a study published in the Journal of Family Psychology (Vol 20(1), Mar 2006, 117-126.)
Long after the flowers have wilted, marriage preparation is a sound investment in your future marriage relationship.
