Marriage therapy is not just for marriages that are in trouble. Therapy can enhance, elevate, and promote your marital relationship and take it to its full potential. It is my belief that virtually every problem in a marriage and family can be worked through, it just takes willing participants.

We seem to be in a time in our society where it is getting tougher and tougher to make things work.  Our economy, fast pace, and need to have our needs met instantaneously are not helping us to keep our lives together.  You owe it to yourself, and those that you love to uncover every rock before you make the decision to divorce or give up on ever having a good relationship with those that you care about. Sometimes separation for reconciliation is necessary in a relationship and divorce may not be able to be avoided due to several factors. I focus my work with couples, relationships, and family dynamics by looking at the origin of the problems and the way that patterns of learned behaviors have filtered down through out the generations in that family system.

I also pay attention to genetic predispositions, family history, and how they are currently playing out in the family. I do not focus on blame and shame; on the contrary, I look for solutions for dysfunctional patterns so we can make relationships better. I love to see the entire family together in session because this speeds up the healing process; however, there are circumstances where it is not possible or appropriate to do so. You will be surprised how much marriage & family therapy can benefit you. Even if you have tried it in the past and it did not work, don't give up, it could have not been the right therapist, type of therapy, or time and space for you or your loved ones.
