Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is a limited part of my practice, but I’ve found that my direct approach can be the right fit for certain couples. My primary goal in couples counseling is to improve the quantity and quality of communication between the partners. I realize that guys are often resistant to the idea of couples counseling, so I'm used to that challenge.
I generally meet with couples for 4-8 sessions with a focus on teaching new communication skills and strategy. It's then the couple's responsibility to put these new tools to work in their relationship. While we will discuss specific disagreements, I want to avoid becoming a "referee" in the relationship.
Frequent areas of focus are:
​
• Communication difficulties
• Lack of emotional intimacy
• Sexual incompatibility
• Substance abuse
• Excessive criticism
• Trust / Infidelity (emotional and sexual)
• Parenting conflicts
• Finances
Business Partnership Therapy
I also work with business partners whose disagreements are threatening the health and stability of their company. Many of the techniques are similar to couples counseling with a strong emphasis on improving communication skills. The article below offers a helpful introduction to the concept of business partnership counseling.
