Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I love working with couples! In coupleship, I believe you need a large assortment of interventions to accomodate all the different personalities, but the one thing that remains consistent is 'Effective Communication.' LEARNING how to LISTEN, convey feelings, validate, and empathize. I use a combination of Imago, Emotional Focus Therapy, and some of the wonderful skills taught by the Gottmans.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can bring deep comfort—and deep challenge. Many couples come to therapy feeling distant, misunderstood, or caught in repeating patterns that leave them both feeling frustrated and alone. In therapy, we’ll create space for each partner to be heard and understood. You’ll learn to recognize unproductive cycles, communicate more effectively, and respond to each other with honesty and care. Whether you’re rebuilding after years of strain, adjusting to life changes like empty nest or retirement, or simply wanting to reconnect, couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship and rediscover a sense of partnership, respect, and closeness.
