Resources
For Couples
An overview of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
This book from Sue Johnson, creator of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, shows us how to develop our “love sense”—our inherent ability to develop long-lasting relationships.
The subtitle says it all: “How Understanding Your Partner’s Brain and Attachment Style Can Help You Defuse Conflict and Build a Secure Relationship.”
This is a quick and powerful read that I often suggest to all my clients. It can help us understand where our communication and listening falls short and leads to conflict and misunderstanding—and the simple things we can do to change it.

Client Testimonials
“Joseph is an excellent listener, gentle, empathetic and insightful. He’s gotten a grasp of my complex situation rapidly. He is helping me experience things in a different way for the first time and is great about taking feedback. We have built a lot of trust in a short time — I look forward to working with him further and see great potential!”

” I have been with Joseph for over 2 years. He helped my husband and I navigate from marriage, to separation, to the decision to divorce. He has helped me personally through the separation and post divorce. Without Joseph, my personal growth would surely have stalled. I am a work in progress, but will continue the work with the help of Joseph.”
