“How do I fix my relationship issues?”
My training as a marriage and family therapist allows me to help couples answer this question. Being in love is beautiful, but let's face it, the feeling of love alone is not always enough to fix relationship problems. Sometimes you and your partner need help navigating relationship distress and finding your way back to each other. When your feelings are hurt and defenses are up, it can be hard to access and verbalize those supressed emotions fueling your conflicts. I find value in helping couples find direction towards better communication, understanding, and intimacy. My goal is to create a safe, accepting, caring, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel increasingly comfortable expressing their true thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
While the main focus of couples therapy is the relationship itself, I value understanding of each person’s experience including their needs, expectations, and wants. For this reason, I include one individual session as part of the couples work so that I can learn more about the “you” before you were a part of the “couple”. Your family of origin, past traumas and previous relationhip experiences all have impacted how you function within your current relationship.
Relationship challenges can cause you to feel stress, worry, and uncertainty. I want to help you tap in to the strength and resilience of your bond give you the tools to strengthen your connection.
