My approach to marriage counseling is informed by the work of Gottman, and by family of origin theorists. In a concrete, practical approach to a couple’s problems, I will work with a couple to identify current problems, help them understand the etiology of their issues, and work with them to develop tools to more effectively handle the issues with which they are struggling. Through homework assignments and open discussion within sessions the couple will create new ways to handle old challenges.
