Do you miss the connection you used to have? Wondering how your relationship got this way? Couples therapy can help.Since 2008, I have worked with hundreds of couples to help them overcome obstacles to physical and emotional intimacy. I believe strong intimate relationships are the building blocks of our society, in addition to being a great source of comfort and joy to people. Types of problems I work with:✔ Sexual✔ Communication✔ AffairsDiscernment Counseling‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾Approximately 30% of couples in couples therapy have a mixed agenda. Meaning, one (or both) are "leaning out" of the relationship. These individuals aren't sure if they want to be in their relationship, and are considering separation and/or divorce. For these couples, couples therapy is NOT appropriate and can actually be harmful. This is why a few years ago I got trained in providing Discernment Counseling, which IS appropriate for these types of couples.Discernment counseling can provide:✔ Clarity about which direction to take for your marriage✔ Confidence about your decision✔ Understanding about what went wrong in the relationship Show less

I provide Lunch and Learn trainings on mental health topics to employees at CAE, a Tampa aviation and defense company.
