Therapist Overview
Failing to get help, many divorced people regret that they gave up too soon. As a marriage specialist for over two decades, you can trust that you are in the care of a competent advocate for your marriage. Every marriage faces the power struggle -it’s supposed to happen. Too many quit their marriage at this crucial time. Not giving yourselves the opportunity to work through this painful stage could be a tragedy because this very stage carries the seeds of true character growth and healing. An affair, dishonesty, conflict, or stress can rob you of the feelings of attunement. Staying in love requires essential elements. Both of you will feel vulnerable. I will offer you nonjudgmental, compassionate interventions without side-taking. My tools draw from evidence-based work of Dr John Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Imago Therapy, which can transform negativity and defensiveness into empathy and emotional intimacy. Each of you bring neurobiological, temperamental, patterns of reactivity and family history differences to the relationship. Honor those differences! I can help you develop the capacity to soothe yourselves, recover from conflict and create a union of emotional safety, laughter and erotic love.
