When you find yourself having the same fights over and over again with no resolution; when you are trying to recover from infidelity; when you cannot seem to communicate or find a deeper emotional intimacy...
It's true that relationships worth keeping aren't easy, but should it be this hard? I find that most couples start seeking therapy after they have been experiencing problems for a long time. But that doesn't mean there isn't hope! If you and your partner are still willing to make your relationship work, then I can help. As I say, as long as both of you are willing to show up, then I can work with that.
I have helped couples move past infidelity, increase their sexual intimacy, significantly improve their communication, come back from the brink of divorce, and lower their conflict. I have the skills and knowledge to help you and your partner have a relationship that is better than either of you could imagine for yourselves. The caveat is that you both have to be willing to put in significant effort. Great relationships take time, practice, a lot of forgiveness, and a lot of personal healing as well.
My role is to help you and your partner identify where you can each make changes to help the relationship. Then, I help heal the wounds that have been created. (To be fair I don't heal anything, I just guide and witness).
I am for the couple, which means that I will both support each partner in their distress and complaints, and I will call out each partner as necessary.
There are some couples who are past the point of wanting to try to mend their relationship and are simply ready to amicably part ways. I can help with that stage as well--with co-parenting, communication, and setting boundaries moving forward.
I also offer pre-marital therapy for couples who are wanting to work through issues before they tie the knot, or for couples who are wanting to identify and talk about potential issues. If you attend 6 sessions of pre-marital therapy, you can get a discount on your marriage license! For pre-marital therapy, I have couples take an optional PREPARE/ENRICH assessment that will identify your strengths and growth areas as a couple.
Hope is not lost. Contact me today if you'd like to set up a free consultation!
