I have successfully worked with couples in the following areas:

• Infidelity or emotional affairs - how to heal and move forward
• Texting affairs, sexting and internet infidelity
• Alcoholism and recovery in relationships
• Parenting support
• CoParenting in a divorce situation
• Divorce counseling
• Stepfamily and blended family challenges
• Improve communication skills
• Reestablish a healthy sexual relationship
• Reconnect emotionally in a long term relationship
• Military Couples - Challenges of deployment and reunions

  My approach in couples counseling is directive and I play a role much like a relationship coach. I understand that you do not want to waste time. Couples therapy should clarify your thinking, helping you understand the context of the situation and your role in it. You may begin by pointing a finger at your partner, however eventually you also need to understand your contribution. When each partner begins to take responsibility for their own change, great progress can be made to improve relationship satisfaction.
