Marriage/Couples Counseling
Marriage or Couples Counseling is for couples who are dating, engaged, married or separated. All couples can improve their marriage /
relationship and benefit from counseling. To learn how others have improved their relationship click here
Premarital Counseling
We focus on premarital counseling for those who are engaged and want to build a strong foundation for their future marriage. Premarital
counseling helps engaged couples avoid the pitfalls many couples can face their first year of marriage.
Marriage & Family Therapy
As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I conduct therapy that is short term, solution focused, with specific end results in mind. My goal is that you
see changes quickly, so you can be happier right now, not months from now. To learn more about Marriage and Family Therapy click here
Couples Counseling /Marriage Counseling/ Premarital Counseling Sessions
In our sessions we focus on what each partner brings to the relationship today, rather than rehashing old problems of the past. My purpose
as a marriage counselor is to help you become self aware so you can focus on yourself, rather than try to change your partner, which never
works.
Marriage and Family therapy sessions have structure. You are guided step-by-step with the aid of videos, personality tests, role plays,
homework assignments and other tools.
The end result of marriage and couples counseling is more self awareness, a better understanding of how personality and gender
differences impact your times together, stronger listening and communication skills, a better knowledge of how to get your needs met, and
the ability to create more fun, affection and physical intimacy. You gain the skills you need to guide your relationship to where you want it to
be.
Expat Counseling
Living overseas can be exciting! Being an expatriate can be fun!
But the life of an expat is not all glamour: there can be loneliness away from the support of family and friends, frustration not being able to
communicate as well as you are used to, culture shock adapting to a different set of values and customs, re-entry shock when coming back
home and the list for the expat goes on...
I serve diplomats, government and international business people and those who are globally mobile, to learn more click here
