Do you want to repair past hurts and derive more satisfaction in your life? Are you disappointed in your relationships? Do you wish for a stronger emotional connection with your partner? Whether you have never had the relationship of your dreams or are recovering from the pain and distrust of infidelity, effective communication skills can begin the healing process. I am optomistic that I can collaborate with you to develop mutual respect as a couple. Not only will my approach improve your quality of emotional life but,reducing stress and developing healthy relationships can strengthen the immune system.
I encourage couples to focus on their strengths and develop balence between their emotional and physical needs and the demands of work and family. By doing so they increase their emotional bank account and keep their relationship strong. I believe that most marriages can be saved and work towards that goal.
I have been in practice for over 35 years. Following receipt of my PhD, I continued for eight years of specialized training. I hold Postdoctoral Diplomas in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Group Psychotherapy. Group psychotherapy can be helpful in working through interpersonal issues from your family of origin or in current relationships.
My group is composed of professionals who work to reduce the stress in their lives and improve relationships with partners and family members. It is an active, lively and supportive group. Empowering themselves and strengthening self esteem are important goals. Members learn to recognize and change dysfunctional behaviors which may have origins in the past. Group interaction is utilized to increase awareness of repetitive behavior patterns and of members impact on others.
