Love Your Relationship

Fighting with the one you love feels terrible. It hurts so much when you want to connect, but it seems like bad feelings are always simmering just under the surface. A cycle of hurt and withdrawal can easily take over your interactions. This can lead you to respond negatively to each other and further damage your relationship.

All relationships are vulnerable to this cycle. Having professional support and guidance to stop it can make all the difference between growing together... or growing apart. Furthermore, what many couples don't realize is that sucessfully overcoming these conflicts and creating a positive cycle can be the royal road to true authenticity and connection in your relationship.

When you stop fighting and start understanding, you can reclaim your love for each other. People say relationships are "work" but in my experience when a positive cycle of empathy and responsiveness replaces the hurtful negative one, being kind, generous, and loving simply feels effortless.

I specialize in helping people have fantastic relationships. I have success with couples who have been disappointed by prior counseling experiences because I have extensive masters and doctoral level training and experience specific to couples, as is reflected in my state licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist.  Working with me is more like relationship coaching than traditional counseling-- It's positive, productive, and effective.

The evidence-based approach to couples counseling I use works to strengthen your connection by identifying and stopping the negative responses you have to each other and creating positive, loving patterns of interaction instead. When you work with me, emotions, behaviors, communication styles, sexuality and relationship patterns are all addressed. Resolving problems in these areas can increase intimacy, decrease conflict, help you both feel secure and loved, and create a happier and more fulfilling relationship.

"When we first saw you we were at the lowest point in our history. To think of all that we have come through to be where we are today, I really cannot give you enough credit for your help. I can imagine you saying that we were the ones who did the work, but we really couldn't have done it without you." – Former Clients

"Our sessions were the "safe place" where we could hear each other, and talk through things productively." -- Former Clients

"Thanks so much for helping us find our strong bond again. We can't tell you how much it's helped us."  – Former Clients
