Many couples come to therapy to address communication challenges, though in my experience things are rarely as simple as just figuring out the "right way" to talk to each other. Perhaps your interactions have become tense, or you find yourself having the same or similar arguments over and over. Or maybe things have gotten so strained between you that you barely feel safe or comfortable talking at all. Couples therapy can be both painful and joyful; it is an opportunity to heal wounds, reconnect, and rediscover intimacy.

We will generally meet once a week for 50-minute sessions. We may decide to have longer sessions, either temporarily or on an ongoing basis, if it feels like 50 minutes isn't enough to do the work we want, and if schedules allow it.

Some of the relationship issues I work with include:

-Entrenched and repetitive arguments that go nowhere
-Emotional distance and disconnection
-Biracial and bicultural issues
-Dealing with homophobia
-Parenting disagreements
-Pregnancy
-Dysfunctional families of origin
-Planning for the future and building shared goals
