Stop arguing, lower resentments and get past anger

Are you having the same argument over and over? When it starts do you think Oh my God is this really happening again?

Let me help you get unstuck. Get your point across without the damage that is so draining.

Do you fight in an ugly way? Yelling, slamming, talking over each other, blaming.

It's important to avoid accusations, distancing and punishing behaviors. As your Therapist I can help you with emotional management and better communication. Counseling can help you lower tensions and secure your relationship.

Thoughts about relationship conflict

Frustration leads to angry resentments and power struggles. Damaged trust. Different internal processing styles. Values. Parenting. Extended family. Finances. Housework. There are many things to argue about.

It's true that some people argue because they need to be right about everything, however, most Couples argue because they are genuinely trying to resolve something but don't know how or can't get their partner on the same page.

Clear up misunderstandings and areas of low trust

I'll help you express your needs and frustrations without losing your temper. During counseling you'll learn to let go. I'll show you ways to disagree without damaging each other. One of the most significant ways to decrease tension is to learn conflict resolution and problem solving and this is an area of expertise for me. From there bridges to real understanding can be built.
