Marriage & Family Therapy

AM I A GOOD FIT FOR YOU?

If you are looking for someone who does not try to find what’s wrong with you, but instead is non-judgmental, and addresses the most serious issues in marriages and families by helping you build on your resources, then we may be a good fit.

If you are looking for

  • healing from old pain
  • skill-building tools to help you get your needs met
  • no longer being angry rather than “managing” anger
  • undoing your programming so that you will respect and love yourself
  • a way to treat your partner and family with the respect all human beings deserve
  • setting boundaries assertively
  • taking control of your life
  • true intimacy, not the phoney stuff
  • premarital worries
  • help with rebellious, depressed, cold or difficult kids

then we really are a good fit!

Here’s my pledge to you: I will work hard to help you with every item on this list.

WHAT IF THERE’S BEEN ABUSE?

With few exceptions emotional or verbal abuse is at the root of current marital and relationship conflicts and parenting dilemmas.

Why do I say that?

If you or your spouse grew up in a home of harsh words, yelling, blame, anger, neglect, addictions, affairs, or experienced even the subtlest emotional abuse, then the pain all that caused will affect your present relationships. Even people who have made a firm decision not to repeat that awful behavior need healing from the past — and this, too, affects you in the present.

Types of abuse:

  • verbal
  • emotional
  • sexual
  • physical

I offer a process specifically devoted to healing the abuse that either or both of you suffered before your marriage and in your marriage. It is this element of healing in combination with skill-building, change in perspective, new understanding for one another, and fostering true intimacy that sets apart my approach. That is why I say you can “start over with the same spouse” no matter what the pain you have been through.

THE PROCESS

Let’s start with what this is NOT:

It’s not talk-talk-talk.

My work is based on SOLUTIONS. It’s about getting to a goal. In your case, it would be happiness, correct?
