I find that what couples and families really need is a safe space to engage in dialogue that previously has led to conflict. I work with couples who struggle with communicating their needs from one another, understanding their role in the conflict, as well as creating intimacy. More than just creating intimacy through sex, couples learn new ways and techniques to connect by hearing one another and practicing mutual respect. 
 

Some of the issues couples seek therapy for are:

• Infidelity

• Cheating

• Trust

• Respect

• Family conflict

• Separation

• Divorce

• Fertility

• Starting a family

• Parenting

• Grief and loss

• Chronic health conditions
   

Similar to couples, families often come to therapy because there's conflict. This can occur when a stressful even occurs such as losing a family member, a family member is diagnosed with an illness, seperation/divorce, a move or any other reason for stress. My role is to collaborate with the family and gain a deeper understanding as to the family system. My goal is to create solutions that would produce an understanding for each family member to create accountability and open communication. A place where everyone feels safe to share and express their experience.
