Couples Psychotherapy

Independent Practice
Licensed in: District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia

My primary focus in couples psychotherapy is on communication and making sure that each person understands what the other believes he or she is trying to communicate. Difficulties in relationships are usually due to misunderstandings and feelings of being unsafe in the relationship. I focus on the importance of attachment and the patterns of relating that are causing the misunderstandings. With this focus, it eventually becomes possible to understand more about the communications that are taking place outside the conscious awareness each person.

I offer both fifty-minute and one and one-half hour sessions.
