Have you noticed that the thing you were most attracted to in your partner has somehow become the most frustrating thing about them? The relationship that once felt the safest and most secure now lacks connection and feels more like roommates...Maybe even enemies? I help couples see beyond these feelings and experiences to understand how they are related to wounds that were often developed before they ever met. I can help you uncover your destructive relationship patterns and establish new patterns that bring healing, communication, and mutual satisfaction.
Maybe things aren't bad, but you want to spruce up your communication skills - give me a call. Couples working with me become safer listeners and develop a relationship that is deeper and has more security than they imagined possible.
Couples Counseling
Premarital Counseling
For engaged couples or those considering whether they are ready for marriage, I highly suggest engaging in premarital counseling. I help couples consider important conversations to have when deciding to marry, such as:
- Expectations about roles in daily life
- Who is the ultimate decision maker
- Children
- Finances
- Sex
- Extended Family
- Past Baggage
- Relationship changes that may take place over time
I use interactive exercises to help couples navigate these conversations and make decisions together. And more importantly, I help couples understand what each partner is bringing into the relationship and how their behaviors and patterns will interact throughout life. Couples working with me learn how to effectively communicate in ways that will stand the test of time.
