Couples


When relationship problems cause endless arguing, depression, anxiety, or talk of divorce, you need a practical, step-by-step way to change your patterns.


A happy and successful marriage or relationship uses skills and tools like the ones discovered in Dr. John Gottman’s research. As a seasoned psychotherapist and a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, I welcome the opportunity to help you change the challening parts of your relationship.
  You can create a relationship that includes enjoyment and fun together.

 


Here are some statements people make when they call for help.  “We don’t communicate well.”   “It doesn’t matter what I do, nothing helps anymore.”  “Our fights and arguments are getting worse, we need help.”   “I don’t love her/him anymore.”   "Maybe we should get divorced if we’re so miserable together."  “We’re really having problems and we need to do something now.”

Through Couples Counseling you can…

  • Listen and be heard
  • Deepen your understanding of each other
  • Increase intimacy
  • Talk productively
  • Agree upon plans and ways to approach issues
  • Re-establish trust and respect
  • Have fun again 
 

Even if your partner is unable or unwilling to attend counseling you can…

  • Clarify expectations for your relationship
  • Develop a clear action plan for making changes
  • Trust the choices your make
  • Focus on what you can control  
  • Gain new energy in your life

Creating a Life that you love takes courage, commitment and hard work.    Cheryl Richardson

Don’t put off calling for help because you think something will just change. The earlier you get help, the sooner you can move forward with your life. I work with married and unmarried couples, with couples in crisis, with non-traditional couples, with couples with deep misunderstandings, distance and loneliness between them, and with people who want spirituality to be a part of their counseling work.
