Helping Frum Men
Find Their Footing
In Marriage
Many husbands find themselves struggling with conflict, uncertainty, frustration, or disconnection in their marriage, without really knowing how to move things in a healthier direction.
Some are newly married and struggling to adjust. Others have been married for years but feel they never truly felt at peace in their relationship.
I work with husbands, often individually, in the context of the marriage- helping them better understand themselves, take ownership of their role in the dynamic, and create healthier, more stable relationships.
Who I Work With:
Husbands who:
-
feel emotionally overwhelmed in their marriage
-
struggle with emotional reactivity or anger
-
constantly question whether they married the right person

-
struggle with assertiveness or setting healthy boundaries
-
feel disconnected, resentful, shut down, or emotionally exhausted
-
want a better marriage but do not know how to get there

My Approach:
Most marriage therapy focuses on both spouses sitting together, pointing out what the other person is doing wrong and trying to enact new relationship patterns in the therapists room. Often, couples leave feeling frustrated and defensive.
If marriage therapy did not work for you, husband therapy may be exactly what you need.
I work directly with husbands, helping them understand and take responsibility for their role in the marriage dynamic. Instead of focusing on controlling or changing your spouse, we focus on helping you become more stable, clear, effective, and grounded within the relationship. Instead of doing enactments in the therapy room, you take home what you learned and apply it in real time.
There are 3 primary benefits to woking with clients this way:
1) You can be open and honest in therapy without feeling like you need to filter what you say due to your spouse being there and hearing everything.
2) Since we are only working with you, you end up owning everything you think, say or do. You plummet the depth of your psyche to undertand why and figure out how to change your own relational patterns.
3) You become more courageous and learn how to take relational risk because that is the only way forward. There are no enactments in the safety of the therapy room- rather you make them happen at home. If that sounds scary, it isn't. We work to help you get so comfortable with the ideas that clients often end up doing it on their own accord.
Therapy with me is direct, thoughtful, practical, and emotionally honest. I talk to you like a real human being and that is something I believe you will come to appreciate early on in our work.
The goal is helping you build a marriage that feels calmer, healthier, connected and more stable.
