As a Marin Couples Therapist in San Rafael, I can help you avoid being one of these statistics. I’ve worked with many couples in Marin, San Francisco and the Bay Area reconsidering whether or not to divorce.

Sometimes couples come in and one person wants a divorce and the other doesn’t. Counseling with me is a last resort before taking legal steps. I can help you get really clear about:

• Why you’re having the couples difficulties you’re having
• Whether you’re staying/leaving the marriage for the right reasons
• Whether you’re likely to recreate the same problems in your next relationship

The #1 reason for divorce is poor communication

The #2 reason for divorce is unresolved conflicts and arguments

The #3 reason for divorce is infidelity

If you decide to stay together, I can give you tools to strengthen your marriage. Having those conversations that seem the most risky and difficult to have, actually has the most potential to increase intimacy (and I don’t mean just sex) and eroticism in your marriage.

If you decide to part ways, I can help you resolve conflicts and power struggles so that you can choose to separate amicably. We can also strategize financial and child logistics.

Divorce is expensive. Marriage and couples therapy with me is much cheaper, with lasting benefits.

If you are divorced and seeking Relationship Counseling/Marriage Therapy alone, I can help you grieve, understand, and recover.
