Couples & Family Therapy

Understanding the patterns two people build together — and how to change them.

Couples rarely struggle over what they think they struggle over. Beneath the recurring argument — money, intimacy, children, attention — there is usually a pattern the two of you built together, each responding to the other in ways neither fully sees.

My work with couples and families draws on fifty years of clinical experience with marital, relationship, and sexual conflicts — and on a career of scholarship on how emotion moves through groups, beginning with Analysis of Groups (1974). A marriage, after all, is the smallest group there is.

Sessions are held jointly by secure video, with individual sessions arranged when useful. Couples sessions are $450; the first 15-minute consultation is free.

Common reasons couples call

  • The same argument, returning for years
  • Distance, resentment, or loss of intimacy
  • Sexual issues neither partner can raise
  • Affairs and rebuilding trust
  • Parenting and family conflict
  • Deciding whether to stay together

Two people. One pattern. Let’s understand it.

Online telehealth sessions only, for residents of Florida, Washington, DC, and Michigan. The first 15-minute consultation is free.
