Description:
The goal of our workshop is to deliver simple,
practical tools to better equip the therapist in his/
her work with couples. We will focus on two primary
objectives: 1) provide psycho educational materials
specific to enhancing the couple’s communication
skills; 2) increase awareness in both the therapist
and client. Philosophically we believe that as the
therapist facilitates better communication, better
understanding occurs and as better understanding occurs,
empathy increases. As a result of true empathy, combativeness
decreases and couples move to an experience of deeper
intimacy.

with children, adolescents, couples and families but
since raising her two "adults in training"
children, she has focused mainly on couples, adult
individuals and family psychotherapy. Her philosophy
is to help people "be the best they can be",
help couples "fall back in love again",
and to consider all aspects of a person emotionally,
physically, historically, and spiritually. Further
