Learning Partners Relationship Consultation

Helping couples turn problems
into learning is at the center of
my work with couples.
 
I approach my work with couples as collaborative teamwork. I am trained in many approaches to couples therapy and my goal with each couple is to get to know them as quickly and as well as possible in order to discover what will be the most helpful to them. This is a consultative approached based on building trust and teamwork. My aim is transparency so that my clients understand what we are doing and why and are able to see results in each session.
