Are you struggling with a difficult relationship , situation or feelings? Perhaps life's stresses and strains are getting you down. If that sounds like you, then things are looking up. A really bright guy once said, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." I believe that quotation by Albert Einstein sums up the positive potential of problems. They are a reason to re-evaluate, a chance to do something differently and a reminder that tomorrow doesn't have to be the same as today.

Throughout my many years of experience, I have seen many clients, each person with a unique set of circumstances to cope with. Anxiety and depression may factor into their life arc, some may be dealing with grief or past traumas, and others may have issues with their self-image. When assessing couples (I am both LPC and LMFT, so I frequently see clients with a variety of needs), I've noticed that the main issues that I offer assistance with tend to be communication issues that then lead to conflict. Clients that come to me actively want to improve their lives, and it is my pleasure to support them by meeting them where they are.

As a therapist for many years, I have found two approaches to couples therapy to stand out: Imago Relationship Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Imago, described in the NY Times best-selling, Getting the Love You Want, (Dr. Harville Hendrix), teaches a simple yet powerful communication tool that is ideal for anyone wishing to learn effective communication. EFT is superb for helping couples move past their own and their partner 's frustrations into their deeper longings for connection. Combined, these two methodologies have proven to be the most powerful approach I know for couples in any stage of relationship .
