Couples Counseling

Do you feel like you and partner have the same fight over and over again?

Are you struggling in your relationship?

Do you feel like your partner does not understand you?

Working with me can help you create new positive interactions which can replace your old, negative patterns. You may have a pattern such as one partner criticizing while the other gets defensive. Or when one partner pursues intimacy while the other withdraws. These dynamics lead to a cycle where neither partner feels seen or heard.

As a couple you can learn to express deep, underlying emotions from a place of vulnerability and each of you can learn to ask for your needs to be met. This might sound scary to you at this point. You may have learned you have to protect your feelings from being hurt from the painful cycle you are in. However, to move towards a healthy relationship you need to learn to both communicate effectively and to listen well. These allows the patterns to change and creates a process that reduces conflict while creating the more secure emotional bond which is what you have been craving.

This new communication will create a healing new cycle that becomes a healing environment for both partners.

You can create a relationship where each of you can learn to be emotionally available, empathetic, and engaged with each other. This will strengthen the bond between you and create a safe haven in the relationship and make all the difference.
