Great Couples Counseling in Apache Junction, AZ. Therapy to heal relationships.

In my approach to couples counseling, I emphasize fostering open communication, emotional intimacy, and mutual understanding between partners. Utilizing techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help couples navigate conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection. By creating a safe and neutral environment, I encourage both partners to express their needs and concerns openly, facilitating deeper empathy and collaboration. Through this process, couples learn to resolve issues constructively, enhance their relationship satisfaction, and develop a more resilient and fulfilling partnership, ultimately benefiting from improved communication.

Jacqueline is trained in an approach that aids in evaluating the individual’s relationship history, how their upbringing and life experience shape their adult and romantic relationship(s) and how individuals respond to conflict. This goes beyond the general approach of couples counseling: why communication may fail, to examine the knee jerk reaction to relationship upset. Which allows for better understanding of one’s self and their partner to strengthen connection and provide a healthier platform for disagreements.

My goal is to provide the necessary tools and shifts in perspective to allow for the couple to view each other and their relationship in a more productive light, and to improve communication, in order to enhance relational functioning.
