Communication and being able to understand what your partner is trying to say, is one of the essential requirements for a strong and healthy marriage.  This is especially true when the partners are from different "cultures" or family systems.  When communication starts breaking down, the relationship suffers.  I can help you work on learning how bring open, honest, and caring communication back into your relationship.  Furthermore, When disability enters a family, we often are unsure how to act/react.  How do we help the disabled member without over protection?  How can we determine the disabled member's place in the family?  How can the person contribute to the family?  I have been blind since birth.  As a specialist in both Rehabilitation Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, I can help your family figure out how to integrate the disabled member into the family so he or she can be a full participant rather than someone who is either overprotected, isolated, or overly manipulative of the family.
