We fall in love. We want to spend all of our time together. We plan to marry. We have expectations of what our life will be like together, but we seldom share these. We marry. Perhaps during a honeymoon phase everything is going well; but in time we encounter problems, disappointments, and unexpected revelations. Who is this person we married? Why is he or she so stubborn, insensitive, unreasonable, and selfish?

In my years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I've noticed that all too often couples don't really know much about each other before they marry; and when they do marry and problems arise, they fall into patterns that tear them apart instead of bringing them together. If you are planning to marry or find yourself wondering why you did, don't wait until the knots in your relationship are too hard to undo.

It's better to meet with me as a couple, but I can help if only one of you is ready to take that step.
