Couples Counseling and Marriage Counseling
-
Working with couples to truly become partners and enrich their meaningful life.
-
Supporting parents whose child has died to live beyond survival.
-
Creating a safe environment to discuss the difficult topics: money, sex, power, death, and love.
As human beings, we attach individual meaning to words and actions, and assume our partner shares our meaning. This leads to many miscommunications, and leave couples feeling disconnected from one another -- and not happy. We all crave connection; evolution and biology have wired this need into our brain in order to survive.
All couples have "issues" and many have problems that they would like to resolve. Typical couples counseling offers communication techniques and negotiating skills. These are great tools to have, but they are not enough to resolve what has come between you. Emotional connection and presence (not fixing) is the path to healing your relationship. As we gain greater understanding of ourselves and each other, as we slow down to listen deeply, as we attune to each other and allow our vulnerabilities to be known, healing between and within each partner begins.
I look forward to having the opportunity to know you, and am honored to be with you on the journey of healing.
