Couples Counseling

Improve Communication

Reduce Frustration and Anger

Resolve Conflict

Rebuild Intimacy

During your first couple’s session with me, I will ask each partner to envision how you would like your relationship to be different. Based on your vision, you will establish shared goals.

After teaching you a dialogue process, you as a couple will begin to safely and respectfully communicate about the issues that lead to your sense of impasse. Through listening and dialoging we will work towards creating an environment of disclosure and discovery.

I will gather your relationship history; explore the backgrounds in which you grew up; identify personality styles; and assess patterns of connection and disconnection with one another as ways to help deepen understanding of yourselves and each other. I will also teach you conflict resolution skills and ask you to practice them at home and in session.

My hope is that in time and with guidance, you will notice the intimacy rebuilding between you as a result of your improved communication, mutual understanding, increased empathy and new relational skills.
