Individual Therapy
You’re empty, unfulfilled, numb, swimming in a sea of “don’t knows” and “what ifs.”
Your relationship with your partner (or spouse, sibling, parent, friend, coworker) is not what you expected.
Communication between you both just plain sucks.
You’re stuck in a destructive pattern that more often than not leads to arguing and hurt feelings.
And, sometimes, you just don’t know how to respond.
Repairing after a fight? What’s that?
Your partner won’t go to therapy with you.
And you don’t know what to do.
Therapy can help.
You can work on your relationship in therapy by yourself.
Change starts with just one person; you can’t change someone else.
If you change how you interact with others, they will change how they respond to you.
The therapy room is a safe space to confront all the things that are not working in your relationships, with others and with yourself.
It takes courage to admit that you need help.
You are brave enough to reach out for help with changing.
Make the change for yourself.
Awareness is the first step in changing stuckness.
We will work together to discover the communication patterns that are wreaking havoc in your life and your relationships.
From there, we can explore alternative ways to interact with others to build emotionally healthy relationships.
You can do this.
I can help you.
Couples Counseling
The most common issue that couples name as their number one reason for seeking counseling is communication.
But where exactly does the communication go wrong?
You both get triggered at times, which boils over to big emotional blowouts.
You’ve never been able to revisit a conflict without it getting out of hand all over again.
So, you avoid it, pretend like it never happened because you don’t want to be the nagging one, the overly-sensitive one, or the one who-just-can’t-let-it-go.
But that solution isn’t a solution; it’s just part of the problem.
THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT WAY…
Deep down inside, you know there is a different way to communicate, a better way to communicate, a healthier way to communicate.
A place where you are heard, a place where you feel recognized and respected, a place where you can share your deepest thoughts and feel witnessed.
You just don’t know how to get there.
Couples counseling can help.
Through our work together, we can uncover patterns and habits that are wreaking havoc on your relationship.
We will explore different ways of expressing your wants, needs, and desires, so that you each feel seen, heard, and respected.
We will examine your automatic reactions and learn how to self-regulate your emotions so that you can respond from your thinking mind.
Commit to Your Relationship
Asking for help isn’t easy.
Taking a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror isn’t easy.
Couples counseling isn’t going to be easy, either.
But, you owe it to yourself, your spouse, and your relationship to do all that you can possibly do to be better.
