I am a couples therapist and believe deeply in the healing power of relationships. I believe that we repeat our childhood trauma with the person we connect to and love, and that if we learn to manage our reactions differently, we can begin to heal that trauma. To do this, we have to hear our partner's side, instead of instinctively defending ourselves and fighting for our side. Of course, this has to go both ways, and we heal when we then mutually experience the generosity of the other.

Please go to my Contact/Questions Page and ask me a relationship question, and I will do my best to answer it. And, tune into my VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network Podcast where I will be discussing relationship issues, using the interface of Imago & Gestalt therapy, and SAVI communication theory.
