Couples often come to therapy in pain and distress. They want to feel better. The PACT approach is designed to alleviate the distress that comes from a relationship that simply isn't working for both partners.

PACT has the potency as a holistic approach to restore and preserve the well-being of the couple relationship. My role is to help couples form a solid foundation in their relationship. The building blocks are principles of fairness, justice, sensitivity, mutuality, and collaboration. Through therapy, the couple develops the skills and tools required to be competent and effective with each other. The moment-to-moment interactions between partners matter. Improved interactions and better approaches are keys to building secure relationships.

"Your personal growth depends on your relationship remaining safe and secure at all times because if either of you feels the least bit unsafe, untrusting, or insecure, you won't have the internal resources for personal growth. Instead, your mind and body will be preoccupied by doubt and threat." -Stan Tatkin
