I help disconnected couples reconnect.
I do so using an evidence-based therapeutic model called, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
I do my best work with couples who are ready to engage in an active, "here and now" process of couples therapy.
I'm not a sit back, listen and nod my head kind of therapist.
I dive in with you to get real about what's going on and help process emotions real-time.
I'm supportive, compassionate, but also direct.
My job is to uncover and help you both understand the emotions underneath all the anger and the fighting.

Currently, I am able to offer online counseling provided you live in the state of Florida.
Online counseling can be a more flexible and convenient way to get the help you need.
If you do not live in Florida, psychologytoday.com is an excellent resource for finding well-qualified therapists in your area.
I do concentrate on and specialize in working with couples, but I work with a variety of issues, including sexual addiction, anxiety, grief over death, divorce, and painful break ups, and life transitions.

Marriage takes work and most of us aren't born "good" at being married.
We excitedly say our vows and begin to learn for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health is more difficult than we bargained for.
In some cases we wind up in places with our relationship we never thought we would.
But. that doesn't have to be the end of the story!
I'm passionate about helping couples get where they need to go in order to have the marriage they've always wanted.

There's a misconception that what counselors do is give advice.
We don't.
Well, not always, and I'm going to break that rule right now.
If there was one piece of advice I would be willing to give is Invest in Premarital Counseling.
According to Scott Braithwaite at BYU.
Braithwaite also points to research studies that demonstrate premarital counseling reduces the likelihood of divorce by up to 50%.
Don't get me wrong, I love working with married couples, but I would so much prefer to help couples prepare for the most significant relationship, presumably, they're ever going to have.

Chances are you've heard of The Enneagram of Personality.
There are several current books and podcasts on the subject.
Perhaps a friend has mentioned it to you or sent you a link to a free test.
The Enneagram is much more than personality inventory, but rather a tool for emotional, spiritual and psychological growth and can be a profoundly helpful tool in your marriage.
Who wouldn't want to understand themselves and their partner more?
