Couples Counseling and Therapy



With over 20 years of counseling experience, Merry understands the changing dynamics of relationships over time and is able to help couples break out of unproductive patterns and establish new, healthier and more satisfying ways of relating and sharing their lives.

She has helped couples overcome the rough patches in their relationships to move from disappointment to rebuilding a union with increased love, support, intimacy and respect.

Imago Therapy is one technique that teaches specific, easily learned strategies that allows couples to communicate in a safe, effective way that resolves conflicts and increases intimacy.

We also use techniques and teachings from family systems, psychodynamic and object relations theory as well as the cognitive restructuring techniques of CBT and DBT, the information procesessing of EMDR, Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and techniques from Merry's post graduate work in clinical sexuality.
