I provide counseling techniques for life adjustments including grief, difficult relationships, anger issues, depression, anxiety, relationship issues (Heterosexual or LGBTQ+), limited family therapy, sexual therapy, work issues, marital counseling, and general feelings of confusion and unhappiness. I work with individuals and couples ages 18 to 102.
With regard to my work with married couples, it is of particular importance to me to assess whether the couple, or one of the members of the couplehood, is seeking to stabilize the marriage (just to avoid divorce) or is seeking to stabilize and enrich/create adynamic marriage. And, what I mean by a "dynamic marriage" is a marriage relationship or couplehood where you are each other's best friend, favorite companion, and, if needed, be involved in a process to create an "affair-resistant" relationship. I also provide Empathic Contrition and Decision Based Forgiveness counseling for emotional healing and creating a foundation which can promote rebuilding trust over tme. This counseling is also available for people experiencing other types of breaches of trust in their relationships.
For individuals and couples who are in somewhat of a"fog" as to the nature of their relationships, I also provide counseling to address the "sorting out" of emotions and perceptions impacting the relationship dynamics. So many individuals are at a loss or confused about the nature and endurance of their relationship. At times it is difficult to discern the foundation of the relationship, i.e. "...is this the infatuation of the "pheromone high" or is this the preamble to an enduring and authentic love?"
