Erik Goldfield, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor | Claimed

The work I strive to do with couples is to help them find compromise within their lives. So many couple's issues stem from avoidant/dismissive forms of conflict resolution where one partner gives in and therefore harbors resentment and/or feels steamrolled. I want both partners to feel engaged in the therapeutic process, and utilize a systems based approach, to facilitate positive communication and a deeper understanding of each person's triggers and desires for the relationship. I pull from Gottman, Chapman, and Masters and Johnson to help couples avoid pitfalls, recognize their own tendencies and rebuild the spark that initially drove them together.
