We are born into a world of relationships that we spend a lifetime trying to master.
I see my job as helping couples increase emotional connection and create a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives together.
I start by creating a space where you and your partner can safely express your needs and wishes. I help couples defuse destructive communication and enhance emotional intimacy, and affection for one another.
Relationship counseling is about helping you and your partner connect so that you can achieve a healthier relationship.
Part of healing and growing involves a deeper understanding of the patterns of the relationships that we choose to create and maintain. Even though we may be wounded by relationships, relationships also have the power to heal.
I work with you and partner to replace the idea that having conflict is bad or that you are doing something wrong if you disagree.
Even though conflict is inevitable, it does not have to be destructive.
Together, we can explore how to help you and your partner learn to repair, strengthen, and nurture your relationship.
Relationship Counseling for Individuals
Relationship counseling isn’t just for couples.
We all carry our wounds and pain from previous relationships with us. Sometimes we can heal on our own, but sometimes are past relationships continue to influence our current ones and create problems.
If you are grieving the years spent in a toxic relationship, feel unnecessarily distrustful of your partner, or tired of wasting time in relationships that seem to have no direction, you could benefit from relationship counseling that is focused on understanding your relationship and attachment needs.
Together we can look closely at your relationships- past and present, recognize emotional triggers, and help you learn to cope, grow, and understand your emotional and relationship needs.
