Whether a new relationship or a relationship of long standing, couples face many challenges. I work with couples who may be struggling with communication, trust, parenting, intimacy and/or anger issues. I also provide premarital counseling, counseling to couples with infertility issues and couples considering separation or divorce.

Areas of Interest

• Communication and Conflict Resolution
  Partners often have vastly different styles of communication and ways of expressing anger. Character, upbringing and relationship experiences all contribute to our pattern of communication and how we attempt to have our needs met. Understanding how we operate in a relationship and understanding our partner's response can help bridge differences.
• Cross-Cultural Couples
  Couples who come from different cultural backgrounds have unique challenges. A difference in values, language, religious beliefs, parenting and communication styles can cause anger and frustration. I help couples negotiate these differences and find areas of common understanding and acceptance.
