Couples Counseling

Do you feel angry, overwhelmed, frustrated, fearful, hurt, or resentful? This is completely natural and can often be the result of unresolved relationship issues.

It is important to recognize these feelings and to understand that couples counseling can be the first step toward resolution.

Does Our Relationship Need Counseling?

Couples counseling is an important and beneficial tool for any couple, no matter how long they have been together. As a licensed professional counselor, I can provide couples with the tools and support they need to build a healthy and stable relationship.

I believe that couples counseling can be a great way to rebuild trust, connection, and understanding in a relationship. After a few sessions, I have seen couples start to develop tools to effectively communicate, express their needs and desires, and learn to recognize and repair conflict quickly.

Struggles Faced By Couples

  • Communication: Couples not being able to communicate effectively or feel heard in conversation.
  • Trust: Building and rebuilding trust that has been lost in the relationship.
  • Relationships: Navigating a relationship with family, friends, or work colleagues.
  • Intimacy: Restoring sexual and non-sexual intimacy to improve closeness in the relationship.
  • Past Infidelity: Focus on getting to the bottom of the issues and moving forward by healing pain and repairing trust.
  • Transformative Work: Challenging the dynamics in the couple's relationship and shifting it from unhealthy, unproductive patterns.
  • Boundary Setting: Learning how to set appropriate boundaries for healthy relationships.
  • Conflict Resolution: Understanding how to navigate different feelings and perspectives in order to resolve conflicts.
  • Mental and Emotional Wellbeing: Supporting the couple's individual mental and emotional wellbeing in order to create a better environment for both of them.
  • Improved Self-Esteem: Learn to manage and overcome insecurities that cause disconnection and discontent in a relationship. 
  • Quality of Life: Improving the overall quality of life in the couple's relationship and other areas of life.

How Does Gottman Method Work?

The Gottman Method is a type of therapy that focuses on helping couples understand the dynamics of their relationship and develop skills to improve communication, increase intimacy, and deepen their emotional connection.

I work with each couple by giving them tools and insight to communicate authentically and effectively, manage conflicts in healthier ways, and understand each other better on a deeper level.

During sessions, couples explore both the negatives and positives within the relationship. This encourages couples to move away from conflict and towards positive action.

How Can Our Relationship Benefit With Therapy?

The goal of couples counseling is to help couples resolve conflicts and feel heard within the relationship. Many couples have flourished since:

  • Therapy provides a safe environment for each partner to express their needs and desires and to have those needs acknowledged and respected.
  • Therapy helps couples recognize and move past unhealthy cycles of behavior.
  • Couples will gain tools to effectively communicate authentically and repair conflicts quickly.
  • Couples build a deeper connection and feel united in their relationship.

Couples counseling can provide an environment where both partners can express their needs and have them taken seriously in order to create meaningful and lasting change in the relationship.

As a licensed professional counselor, I can help you and your partner work through your unresolved issues and build a strong healthy relationship.
