Communicating
Communication is the connective tissue that holds love together, bridges the gaps between you and creates the emotional climate of your relationship.
Help
Poor communication contributes to anger, resistance and sadness in a relationship. Differences surface. What should be easy becomes confusing and difficult. Avoidance or explosions set in.
Communication can be a traffic pile-up because of differing realities. Sometimes it's a smooth flow and other times the road is littered with emotional debris. You survived, but the relationship is bruised and you dread the next collision.
It feels frustrating and unfair. Love brings us the desire to be close, but sometimes it's the communication that fails. I'm here to help you with that.
Love out of sync
As a Therapist for over 3 decades I can say that Couples Therapy isn't magic, but most issues can be resolved by improving your communication, dissolving resentment, reconnecting emotionally and learning new ways to solve problems together.
Both Marriage Counseling and Couples Therapy can help you discard what doesn't work while upgrading your communication as a Couple.
During our sessions together I will listen to your points of view and help you understand what needs to happen for things to improve.
I'll help you and your partner understand each other in a deep way while giving you skills to smooth out communication. I will base that on your individual uniqueness as a Couple.
Personal Best
I'm at my best when helping Couples create positive change. As your Counselor, my style is to understand and honor your emotions while keeping you both moving forward toward solutions. I don't take sides. I am objective and fair. Once you become a client of mine I will dedicate considerable experience, insight and energy to help you attain your relationship goals.
Email is the best way to reach me
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
