Couples Counseling
It is time to face the issues in your relationship that threaten to destroy the most precious thing you have.
Love is the main reason most of us get up every day and face life and the challenges it brings. When your primary relationship is in trouble it can truly feel life and death serious.
How Couples Counseling Works and Helps
My experience with all of the couples I work with is that under the frustration, angry words and impasses there is a primal need for you to feel safe, seen and heard.
My job as a couple’s therapist is to help you see where your fear and best intentions are undermining the natural flow of the honest, intimate communication you want.
We will sort through your shared and individual values and find common ground to re-establish goals and connection or where appropriate the most conscious and loving separation possible.
Within a safe therapy container, we will let all perspectives have the space and respect that they need to be examined without judgement or a need to be right
As a witness to your struggles and hopes for the future I can help you both let go of the heavy burden you have each been carrying alone. What you couldn’t do together or separately we as a team can manage much more easily.
I draw from experience as a trauma and attachment based therapist and look to the wisdom, research and practical tools of the The Daring Way™, The Gottman Institute, The Meadows and the 12 step program, Sex and Love Addiction Anonymous.
