"I've always been skeptical and hesitant about the idea of therapy. However, after being referred to Shari I now stand corrected. Shari's support and guidance has given myself and my partner the tools to understand, accept and value one another. We've learned how to resolve conflicts and for the first time in memory, actually enjoy each other's company."

Couple’s Therapy:

Allows any type of couple (i.e., dating, premarital, marital, etc.) to explore and find solutions to frustrating situations they may be experiencing with one another. By understanding relationship patterns and healing old wounds, couples can then focus on getting their needs met/healing themselves and each other as well as what will work for them in the future to resolve their difficulties. We get to the root of your communication and with that understanding we work on creating a more loving, supportive, positive way of interacting. Clients learn communication and conflict resolution skills. These sessions are held in the office and are scheduled as needed.

Couples may come in with (but are not limited to): communication difficulties (fighting, bickering), difficulties identifying triggers or repetitive patterns, confusion of roles, rules, expectations of self and partner and division of tasks, dual-career management problems, wanting to enhance their relationship.
 

When couples should come in for therapy:

-If you are not feeling heard or understood by your partner.
-If you feel you are not on the same page as your partner.
-If you have negative communication with your partner, i.e., do you feel criticized or put down or maybe you criticize or put him/her down?
-If you and your partner are fighting too often or maybe not communicating at all.
-If you are having the same fight(s) or negative pattern(s) of interaction with your partner over and over again and wondering why.
-If you are unsure of how to ask for what you need or if you do it's still not being fulfilled.
-If you would like to have better communication and conflict resolution skills.
