Couples Therapy
Wouldn't you like to feel close again? Wouldn't you like to have strategies for addressing problems--that work?
My work with couples leans on three approaches, the Bader approach, the EFT Couples Therapy approach and the Doherty approach. We will find what is pulling you apart and help you intervene in the negative cycles that keep the conflict or the distance in place.
Discernment Counseling
Discernment counseling is a specific short term approach designed to help couples on the brink of divorce decide whether to take one of 3 paths:
- To continue the way things are

Discernment counseling is a specific short term approach designed to help couples on the brink of divorce decide whether to take one of 3 paths:

- To put divorce aside and work very hard on the relationship for 6 months with support
This service is for couples where one person is leaning towards ending the couple relationship but not absolutely certain of that decision.

If you think you or your spouse is considering divorce (whether married or not) this may help you make a decision.

If you have decided to divorce, Collaborative Divorce is a strategy that supports your family in divorcing with dignity and respect. Deciding to end your couple relationship does not mean that it was never good or valuable. Using the collaborative process means that you have a team supporting you through this, including two attorneys, a financial professional, one or two coaches and possibly a child specialist if you have children. I am a trained collaborative coach and work as a part of the team. If you are researching the ways to become divorced, please check out the Divorce Options Workshops which are free on Zoom and guide you through several options.

I am a certified co-parenting specialist. I know that your children are your top priority whether you are together or apart as parents. Differences in parenting approaches are common and can be painful and scary. I can help you create a parenting plan if you are separating, or help you solve problems between you regarding your parenting strategies whether you are together or apart.

Psychotherapy for people with addictions and for family members of people with addictions. I have worked in addiction treatment for 30+ years and understand the difficulty of changing. I approach addiction and families with addiction with respect and concern and without judgement.
