Couples Counseling

Everyday stressors:

Factors of everyday life can put 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 anxiety and provide new paths to explore toward resolution.

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.  Therapy can benefit families as a whole, enhancing their ability to move forward.

Pregnancy, Fertility, and Parenting:

When issues related to pregnancy, fertility, parenting, or loss arise, couples may find themselves in need of a place to find common understanding and common ground.  I work specifically with these issues to strengthen a couple's mutual understanding of each other and find resolution and healing.

Treatment techniques may include the following:

• Analyzing Your Communication
• Getting to the Root of the Problem
• Enhancing Intimacy
• Individual Counseling
• Cognitive Behavioral Techniques
• Grief Counseling
• Psychoeducation

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.
