Couples Therapy in Santa Rosa - Marriage Counselor

Therapy for Couples

Many of us begin relationships enjoying an abundance of love, excitement and happiness that promises to last forever. Over time we discover that the sweet deliciousness has soured, leaving us feeling disillusioned, disappointed, deprived and angry? Sound familiar? If so, let me assure you that this doesn't mean you've failed. Close, intimate relationships have the powerful ability to bring out the best and the worst of us. They evoke our deepest wisdom and joy as well as our most childish pettiness and dark misery. Relationships can be difficult, requiring us to grow and cultivate the best within us in order to give and receive the love that we want to experience with our partner. I would be happy to help you and your partner rebuild your safety, trust, inner resources and ability to experience love and excitement again.

Couples therapy is not about assessing guilt and innocence, right and wrong. It's about findjng the safety and space within you and between you to receive and express a love that is true and honest.

I will help you and your partner learn to:

• Speak in a way that allows you to be heard and understood
• Listen to what is spoken instead of what you are wired to hear
• Rebuild Trust and Safety
• Receive and enjoy the love that your partner feels and expresses for you
• Help your parter receive and enjoy the love your feel for him/her
• Repair relationship wounds
• Be self-responsible while giving your partner the same opportunity
• Restore friendship
• Enjoy and improve intimate and sexual connection

As a licensed therapist I have 23 years of experience in working with couples. I use my compassion, empathy, intuition and knowledge to help couples create a mature rapport and attunement that will resource you through the good times and the bad. I would be happy to help you and your partner get through your difficulties and create a better future.
