Practice Information

I am a Professional Marriage & Family Therapist working with Couples, Individuals and Families. I can help you communicate effectively, fight fair, repair after fight, help you reconnect and save your marriage or relationship! How to choose a couples therapists that is a good fit for you and your partner: I will suggest that you first consider what you need help with. Below are common reasons for partners seeking couples therapy: Communicate more effectively Make an important decision Grow as a couple Reconnect with partner One partner wants to separate Solutions for disagreements Feel understood and respected by partner More/less independence in relationship What is your reason(s)? Consider what style of therapist you like to work with. Have you been in therapy before, individual, couples or other? Did you feel heard, understood and respected? Was it helpful? These experiences can give you an idea of what qualities in the therapist to look for. You want to find a therapist that is not afraid of stopping a fight in the office and are able to structure your time together so that you learn how to fight fair, do repair work after the fight, communicate effectively and not trigger each other’s defenses. The therapist needs to focus more on the process (how to support each other) than the content of the fight (what you are fighting about). The major aim of therapy is to increase your knowledge about yourself, your partner and the patterns of interaction between you. Make sure that the therapist is licensed in your state/country. In most countries the therapist have to have a master degree in psychology, counseling or other related field to be able to sit for the examination to get the license, plus many hours of supervised work experience working with clients. Ask about specialized education in doing couples work and years of experience in treating couples. Ask what kind of therapy the therapist is qualified to do. I offer reduced fee for first consultation. Mention this site. My office is in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I look forward to working with you.
