Barbara Jandu
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate | Claimed

Some couples tell me they're stuck in a repeating pattern; others have lost their spark; still others are just starting out and want pre-marital counseling. I help couples using a combination of evidence-based practices, including the Gottman method, solution-focused and emotionally-focused therapy. These approaches are all based on years of research into what makes marriages work well. Rather than taking sides, I will help the two of you find middle ground where healing can happen.
INTIMACY:

If you're one of those couples who have lost the spark of sexual intimacy, or are just having difficulties talking about it, there is hope. I can help you connect or re-connect, manage conflict in a healthier way, and create shared meaning. Our first step together will be to discover your overlapping goals. You might be surprised at how much you both want the same things.

PARENTING:

If you have children (from toddlers to teens), then you know how hard it is to raise kids in a consistent way. Sometimes parents hover too much and other times they're too harsh. I can help you find balance with strategies that actually work using techniques from Love and Logic parenting. This parenting style is not only effective with your children; it also helps partners to get on the same page.
