I am trained as a psychologist, but also have an undergraduate and a masters degree in family studies/marriage and family counseling. My most important training has come from working with couples for more than 30 years (hey, I started young). I have learned that marriage is very difficult. Many couples reach a period in which one or both are questioning their commitment to the marriage and that such a crisis can trigger a new and improved relationship - if the crisis is managed in a proper manner. Couples in crisis naturally respond with great emotion, emotion that can be destructive. I have learned how to help couples focus on their interaction and to keep their emotions from destroying a already fragile relationship. I have recently published the book, Crumbling Commitment: Managing A Marital Crisis. This book guides you through the crisis in your marriage. By reading this book you will be able to gain awareness of how your relationship has changed and how you can find unexpected power to influence the outcome of this crisis in your marriage.
