I truly enjoy working with couples. I love LOVE and love to see others in love. It truly is a wonderful thing! Couples counseling includes improving emotional and physical intimacy, and exploration of past and present barriers that impact it. Couples are given behavioral tasks to complete outside of therapy to improve closeness, increase communication and time spent together. Living in the DMV proves challenging for many couples due to demanding jobs, long commutes and balancing of work/family life. I will work closely with you to restore that balance. Couples who enter into therapy must understand that the real work and commitment involved for lasting change is completed outside of the therapeutic environment. Couples are encouraged to discuss what their agreed upon goals are for therapy, while we uncover and explore new ones.
In working with couples rebounding from infidelity, we will need to explore past hurt and resentment that impacts moving forward, along with improving communication, trust and reestablishment of couples/marital goals.
