Couples counseling can be beneficial for a wide range of difficulties in your primary relationship. Partners seek out couples counseling to improve communication in a basically strong partnership. Other times couples seek help when anger, disappointment or sadness is a major part of the relationship and the basic partnership is at risk.

Couples counseling makes sense if you are both feeling generally dissatisfied and missing something that you had earlier when you were first together.

It's not unusual for a partnership to be seriously challenged when faced with life transitions. Transitions are inherently stressful. Very commonly, when children arrive, things get challenging. Job changes, moves and loss are other life transitions that stress individuals as well as couples.

Couples counseling addresses these kinds of concerns: communication, financial arguments, infidelity, trust, parenting issues and stressors stemming from extended family or work commitments.

A "couple" is any partnership between committed adults. I value and respect diversity.

A session is just under an hour. Your insurance will likely cover a portion of the fee. A telephone conversation precedes the initial appointment.
