Background Information:

Over the past ten years, I have worked with couples and families, using a variety of clinical models. In couples therapy, I help the partners identify and understand the dynamics of their conflicts, their triggers, the process of escalation, and obstacles to flowing communication. I also work with the couple on understanding underlying emotional reasons for relationship conflicts. Such issues may be different emotional needs, different styles of expressing feelings, as well as individual issues emerging from each partner’s life experience. I coach the clients communication skills, so they can talk to each other in a non-blaming way, make requests, and express and negotiate needs, while learning active listening skills.
