Relationship Counseling
Do you ever feel criticized and disrespected by your partner?
Feeling like you’re walking on eggshells is not fun. It irritates, creates resentment, and causes more anger in the relationship.
Why does she get defensive whenever I try to speak up?
Sometimes I just need some space. But then he pulls away when I need him…
Communication issues can manifest in many forms, and this makes your partner feel lonely, unsatisfied, or unheard.
Hurtful words and behaviors, like emotional or physical cheating, can destroy a relationship.
You don’t want to give up, but you are exhausted from feeling “less than” and invalidated.
Unfulfilled needs lead to separation.
Couples report that the reason they fall apart is miscommunication and not expressing their needs in a way that’s receptive to the other person.
Unfortunately, they tend to recognize how important the relationship is to them when it’s too late to save it.
I could have done more. I could have a been better partner.
Taking the relationship for granted and the regret that comes with it is one of the most painful feelings.
The pain of divorce is felt by the couple and also their loved ones. But staying in an unhappy marriage causes harm to all involved. Being in an unfulfilling relationship can cause stress to the body and mind, which can manifest as chronic illness, anxiety, or depression.
Heal and restore your relationship with counseling.
I help couples develop a way of communicating where they both feel heard, respected, and valued – in a way that’s based on responsibility, honesty, and a shared outlook on the future.
Using the Gottman Method, I specialize in helping couples take advantage of their shared goals and values in life. As a part of this work, we’ll target common interests, lean into resolving conflict rather than shying away from it, increase admiration in the relationship, learn to resolve issues together, and improve sexual life.
Couples gain a lifelong skill-set that increases a mutual sexual desire and ways of interacting that make them partners feel attracted to each other for the long term.
Whereas your partner may have left you feeling abandoned, now you feel that he or she is there for you. Increased intimacy, connection, and positive interactions will help you repair the painful wrongdoings of the past and move on in a way that allows you both to feel accepted and respected.
You’ll learn how to show humor, affection, and interest in each other. The couples I have worked with report that the strategies they used significantly affected their ability to be spontaneous, play, and love each other while strengthening their bond and improving their individual well-being.
Being in a fulfilling relationship can reduce stress, improve immune functioning, increase mental and physical endurance, and lead to overall life satisfaction.
