Marriage counseling is an important component of recovery for people suffering from mood disorders or substance dependency.  I help the individual with a diagnosis and their partner learn better ways of communicating with each other.  The couple does not have to repeat the same behaviors that pushed them apart.  Through self-awareness and moving away from blaming, the couples can rebuild trust and respect for each other.

For years I worked in managed care with people suffering from depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and substance abuse.  As a family therapist, I helped people learn how to treat each other with mutual respect and love.
