relationship & couples counseling
Building stronger bonds through deeper connections
Embarking on the journey of couples counseling can feel like a daunting choice, but it's one that can reap immense benefits for both partners. As a counselor informed by the principles of Gottman, Imago, and Attachment theories, I offer a holistic and in-depth approach to relationship enhancement and healing. Over the years, I've helped couples navigate:
-
Infidelity and trust repair
-
Challenges faced by blended and non-traditional families
-
The complexities of divorce
-
Pre-marital counseling to set a strong foundation
-
Discernment counseling when considering separation
-
Money habits, attitudes, and their impact on relationships
-
Issues surrounding sexual intimacy
Couples Counseling can strengthen
01.
Communication
Re-establish a connection by learning to speak and listen in ways that promote understanding and closeness.
02.
Trust and Respect
Repair breaches of trust and cultivate security in the relationship.
03.
Intimacy
Rediscover and deepen emotional and physical intimacy.
04.
Attachment Styles
Understand how early experiences shape your relationship dynamics and learn strategies to bridge the gaps.
05.
Love Maps
Develop deeper insights into each other's worlds, increasing empathy and connection.
a gentle reminder
It's a common misconception that couples therapy is only for those in dire straits. Instead, consider it as a regular 'relationship check-up'. Just as we visit a doctor for preventative care, couples counseling can serve a similar purpose for relationships.
Waiting until things feel unbearable can make the process more challenging. Many issues can be navigated with ease if addressed earlier. Use couples therapy as a preventative measure, not just a last resort.
