I have helped thousands of couples who struggle with relationship challenges reconnect and restore their love and passion.

This insight leads to strong, lasting, and loving relationships. My therapeutic method has shown consistent and rapid results with many couples reporting significant improvement in the very first session.

How I Can Help

How can I help? I am an expert in couples communications, with a degree in communications from Santa Clara University. I have conducted and published actual research on improving communications. This background has given me the tools to be able to quickly diagnosis communication problems and make constructive suggestions on how to improve communication challenges. I work with you in a non-judgmental, constructive, and straightforward way. I make every effort to understand the problem from both of your perspectives. Most couples accomplish their goals in 1 to 10 sessions.

From research, we know a couple of key things about couples who are struggling: (1) they are trapped in a negative cycle, where they seem stuck in the same hurtful spiral, and (2) the key to breaking the cycle is emotion. I believe that any relationship - no matter what state it's in - can be made better with marriage counseling. The simple truth is that I love helping people and whole-heartedly believe that relationships give meaning to our lives. When you're in a great relationship, your world seems better, brighter, and stronger. Having this kind of relationship is my wish for you.

I view couples counseling couples counseling as extremely collaborative and I use a strong team approach to get quick results. I am very involved in the session at all times and will honestly communicate to you what I see, feel and think. I begin by working with you to establish a vision for the relationship, which incorporates the ideals of both partners. My office becomes a safe haven, where problems can be discussed without fear of pain, judgment or retribution. Our consultation time is used as a living laboratory, a place where we can explore different styles, interventions and techniques. These can be used to change hurtful and destructive patterns in the relationship and create a stronger, more open and meaningful connection.

Some people think that marriage therapy or any type of relationship counseling will only work if both partners really want it. I don't believe this is true. It only takes one person to make a change, to create a shift, and make things better.
