Chicago Couples Counseling        Transform Your Relationship

In my Chicago Couples Counseling practice, I work with couples to help them realize their full potential both in themselves and in their relationships. As someone who has been divorced and is now happily remarried (with a beautiful son), I know both the difficulty and the profound joy that can come from these intimate relationships. It is particularly gratifying to me when I can help couples in crisis shift from conflict and emotional isolation to cooperation and intimate connection.

By using mindfulness, attachment theory, and the latest research in neuroscience, I help couples transform their relationship from a source of pain into a source of sustaining joy.

I have been fortunate to receive training in my Chicago Couples Counseling practice from three of the leading experts in the field of couples counseling Sue Johnson, PhD, Dan Wile, PhD, and David Mars, PhD. Through my work with these amazing teachers, I have learned how to help couples get out of their negative cycle of conflict, so that each partner can express their deepest longings in a way that can be heard. At the same time, I help each couple member learn to recognize the unique way that their partner does show them love. This allows each person to directly experience the love that too often lies just below the surface and is often, sadly, missed.

Chicago Couples Counseling Although each couple is different, I have found in my Chicago Couples Counseling practice that a transformation in a couple's relationship often leads to a personal transformation for each individual as well. By working directly on our most intimate relationship, we have a powerful opportunity to heal old wounds and finally become who we were always meant to be.
