About

I work with couples who are still fond of each other and have stopped being able to say so without it turning into something else. That is a specific and very common difficulty, and it responds well to attention. Most of my clients are not in crisis. They are two people who have accumulated a set of avoided topics and now find that ordinary conversation keeps brushing against them. We name the avoided topics and take them one at a time, in a room where neither person has to manage the other's reaction alone. School and university counseling is where I began, which gave me a lot of practice at being useful within a limited number of sessions. I do not assume this has to take years. If you are still fond of each other and cannot get a sentence out, get in touch.
