I will help you and your partner assess the severity of the problems in the marriage and whether I as a therapist am a good fit for working with you. I will discuss the approach I take when working with couples, and together we can decide the next steps.

Couples counseling clients usually come weekly for at least 10 sessions. In each session, we’ll be working toward your goals – but often, your old ways of interacting can be hard to give up. You’ll likely see some progress in the first few sessions, but habits can be hard to break. Continuing to work on your relationship will you get out of those old ruts and seeing consistent changes in new ways of interacting that feel much better.

Sessions are usually with both partners, but I may ask to meet individually with each of you as well. This is especially helpful at the start of our work together.
