Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating effectively on both parts can alleviate emotional anxiety from subjects of all kind. My approach is rooted in The Gottman Method. I utilize a combination of research based interventions, testing, couple and individual counseling. For more information please contact me for a free consultation or click the link below.
Couples often seek couples or marriage counseling when the relationship is at a standstill, or if they are unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging. It can also benefit those who want to build on an already solid relationship. Pre-marital counseling can help build the skills to create a long lasting and thriving marriage. This type of therapy can also benefit families with children who have been affected by relationship issues such as divorce, and work to better communication and parenting skills.
Treatment techniques may include the following depending on the therapist:
- Gottman Method
- Testing
- Faith based principles
- Narrative Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Conflict management
- Analyzing Your Communication
- Getting to the root of the problem
- Enhancing Intimacy
- Building friendship
- Shared meaning and life dreams
- Individual Counseling
- Marriage Seminars
When a relationship is showing signs of addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a counselor immediately, for your safety and your partner.
