Interventions do for seriously damaged relationships what counseling cannot
I specialize in severe relationship problems. Many people have relationships which are on the brink of collapse. The tragedy is that many people will divorce or break up needlessly, resulting in regret. Interventions are used to save relationships that would otherwise fail, and to bring about change quickly. Interventions are specific and detailed guidance in how to respond and communicate with your partner. As you reconnect and the relationship improves, coaching becomes more open ended and your partner can also join in.
No one really wants to break up
People don't want to break up or divorce. They do that because they think it is the only way to have a better relationship. As statistics show, remarriage has an even greater risk of failure than first marriages. Finding new partners is not really a sure way to have a happier life. Every possible difficulty that a relationship has has been overcome by other couples. I know how they did that because that is my life's work. I can help you to do that to.
These are some of the interventions I help people with when they have a partner who is:
- Jealous and controlling
- Angry and negative
- Sad and withdrawn
- Anxious and dependent
- Distant and avoidant
- Selfish and neglecting
- Dishonest and unfaithful
Partners are continuing to be this way not because it is fun, but because it is what they know. Interventions help them to experience relating a different way that is good for both of you. An intervention is a wonderful thing to do for your partner. You will probably be the first person who ever helped them with that. And that will make you very valuable, respected, and loved.

My experience helping people with serious relationship problems comes from 17 years of marriage and family counseling, working with difficult men and their spouses, working with victims, and high conflict marriages, as well as my years of teaching graduate school counseling courses. I understand the desire to divorce and the need to struggle with this desire in seriously damaged marriages. I believe, however, that divorce is like amputating a limb—something to be avoided at all costs and only after everything that can be done has been done. My services are geared to give you the best chance of saving your marriage or committed relationship.
