Couples and Marriage Counseling
As a couples specialist, I give you resources to better understand your relationship, and strategies to make the changes you want. Couples counseling helps you build better communication skills, reduce conflict, improve sex and intimacy, let go of previous hurts, and get past infidelity in a way that makes your marriage stronger. You learn to stay calm during an argument and repair your relationship after a disagreement.
Individual Counseling
Partner won't come in? There is a lot you can do on your own to change your relationship. If you feel yourself holding back emotionally, sexually, or physically, counseling can help you communicate more effectively, get your needs met,and feel happier in your relationship.
Ambivalent about a relationship? If you have one foot out the door or have thought about leaving, counseling can help you resolve your ambivalence and make the choice that's best for you. I've helped individuals and couples decide how to move forward when they are unsure about their relationship's future.
Single? Counseling can help you get started dating again after a divorce, risk taking a chance on a new relationship, or stop "settling" in relationships and find the close, rewarding relationship you deserve. If you are trying to cope with the end of a relationship, or find yourself worried that you'll end up alone, counseling can help you find a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and cherished.
Struggling with an affair? Counseling can offer support if you are struggling with feelings of hurt and betrayal during the aftermath of an affair. Or if you are surprised or ashamed to find yourself interested in someone else and not wanting to hurt your partner, counseling can help you reconcile your feelings and values. In some cases, a combination of individual and couples counseling can help you navigate this difficult and painful territory.
Worried, anxious, or under too much stress? Counseling can provide tools and strategies to reduce anxiety and live a more satisfying, fulfilling life.
Premarital Counseling
How compatible are you? An in-depth pre-marital assessment will help you understand your relationship strengths and challenges. You will meet individually and as a couple to understand your communication style (what works and what doesn't), how to handle conflict more effectively, and how to deal with past events that affect your relationship right now. You will finish with a packet of resources, a better understanding of your relationship, and recommendations for next steps. A premarital assessment includes six individualized one-hour sessions with homework and e-mail support.
Relationship Turnaround Consultation
Feeling stuck, but not sure where to start? This consultation will help you take a close look at how you show caring and deal with conflict. We look at how you communicate, and identify strategies to help you communicate better. If you disgree about many things, we will prioritize them so you know which problems to solve first, and how to start. You will end up with a better understanding of your relationship strengths and challenges, a packet of resources, and options for next steps. A relationship turnaround consultation includes six individualized one-hour sessions with homework and e-mail support.
