Clients with a strong desire to fix their relationships in the most profound ways fit well with my practice .This is true even if you don’t know what is wrong or your partner disagrees about what the problem is. The change is not just communication patterns but also underlying intense emotional distress or explosive patterns of expression. We address complaints such as lack of sex or affection or emotional withdrawal.We stop couples from divorce and fix communication problems by training partners how to best be supportive and to understand underlying psychological messages unwittingly communicated between partners.
Our Relationship Therapy provides a tailored blend of techniques that transform the way couples support each other. It includes evidence-based couple and individual therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy (e.g. DBT) Diplomate and Board Certified in DBT ,Marriage and Family Therapy and Behavioral Medicine
We often treat busy, high profile individuals and understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality. We also work with those having difficulty balancing the demands of stressful professions and their commitments to family, and we work together to create a plan that is both effective and moves quickly towards resolution.
