My Approach to Helping

STOP FIGHTING AND LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN! I specialize in helping couples talk about difficulties and challenges in their relationship and with each other. We will focus on what's not working and what is, and most importantly we will discover why.

Counseling allows people to open up and share the hard stuff that usually stays hidden from the other person. Counseling helps couples re-discover the each other again, in a way that is more satisfying to both. The goal of counseling is to provide you new skills for you to use to communicate with each other and to help you feel more connected with your partner.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in understanding relationships. We partner with the person we love, but sometimes we end up feeling alone in a relationship. Sometimes we get angry at our mate because they are the one person who is supposed to understand us. We may try and try to fix the relationship, but our efforts do not change the hurt feelings that you and your mate live with. Both of you probably feel as if the other person just does not understand where you are coming from. This is a very sad and uncomfortable place and yet many couples live here. I enjoy working with couples. The first thing I like to do is listen to what each has to say independent of the other. I listen intently to each person and learn what each one has been longing for. Then I help each person learn about themselves and the other. After one session it's likely you and your partner will come away with enough awareness to begin to have some different conversations. And that's what's missing; conversations about something new. It's not that you've lost the love for your mate, it's just that you have not been able to feel loved by your mate for a long time. I would like to help you dissolve your difficulties and learn the differences that make each of you so great for each other. No one has to change to make a better relationship. But you may wish to become different, especially when it brings you closer together. Why not try couples counseling. It works.
