The primary problem that most couples say they have is with communication. In reality their problems are usually much deeper, with poor communication skills only compounding the problem. My approach, based on the Gottman method, develops a specific treatment plan for the couple base on an assessment of key areas of the relationship, the couple's history, and current problematic patterns of interaction that are contributing to the tension or distance in the relationship. We then work to develop better means of communication and conflict resolution along with implementing practices that rebuild trust, friendship, and intimacy.
