Erika Groban

Ph.D.

I have learned that the one leaning towards divorce is often dealing with a lot of ambivalence about whether to finally end the marriage as well as shame about the pain this may cause their partner and family. They've often struggled with this decision for a long time even though their partner may feel blindsided..

I have learned that the person wanting to preserve the marriage is often dealing with feeling scared and out of control. They may believe the relationship hasn’t been given a fair chance even though they know it needs to change. They still want to fight for the marriage..

I have been working with couples since 2008.
