Great Couples Counseling in Astatula, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Working with couples is the reason I first decided to become a therapist. A majority of my caseload consists of couples. In my approach, I help couples establish or re-establish a connection with each other, and change the environment of their relationship. I don't find it helpful to focus on specific issues that drive fights. Rather, I will help you understand the process working beneath the surface. This process has kept you locked in one dance. The good news is that either one of you can choose to change that dance!

Do you have the same argument over and over again? Are you feeling alone, misunderstood, or disrespected in your marriage? I can help you work through these issues through couples counseling, and help you break the unhealthy patterns that aren’t working. Renewing trust, improving communication, and regaining the spark are all possible. Being married myself, I know that marriage is work, and that love is a choice. But even intelligent, loving couples sometimes need support. You deserve better than what’s happening now. If you’re willing to put in the work, I can help. Our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion you were created to be.

When we choose to be in a committed relationship, I believe that keeping this relationship "alive" is a key to our lifelong happiness. My couple's therapy is intended to help you find solutions to your relationship challenges. We will work together to develop a dialogue that creates an emotional connection in your relationship that you can carry throughout your lifetime. My primary approaches are Emotionally Focused Couple"s Therapy and techniques created by the Gottman Institute. I have had extensive training from both. Couple's therapy is not a quick fix or always "fun". We sometimes have to clear out a lot of muck to get to the sparkling clear water. If your in it for life, email me.

Falling in love is one of the best feelings in life. Often though, we start to feelin like we are falling out of love with our partner/spouse and sometimes start to feel like roomates. Many times this is closely related to our other identities (mother, father, employee, business owner, friend, etc.) along with the roles and responsibilities in our everyday lives. When you choose to see out counseling, you are taking a step towards a healthy relationship as a couple.

We are passionate about and skilled with helping couples to repair and strengthen their relationship by utilizing techniques from evidence-based practices such as Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method. These techniques help get to the heart of the matter to increase relationship satisfaction and heal emotional injuries that may have occurred throughout the relationship or as a result of previous trauma. Individual therapy for each partner is also recommended as best practice for helping each person to work through their personal traumas.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Communication is the key in any coupe's relationship. And communication is usually the reason why many couples fight. Are you having a difficult time communicating with your significant other? Do you feel like you are not being heard? Couples counseling may be of use in your relationship to not only help communication improve but also to ensure there are shared goals to work towards the next step in your relationship.

Helping couples improve their relationship is my main area of expertise. I can help you resolve old issues, work through current challenges, and learn how to communicate in ways that your spouse will hear and understand. You may be in a tough spot right now, but I would recommend that you give counseling a try before giving up all hope. It won't be easy, but your relationship is worth it.

Relationship stress affects every area of our lives. When our relationships aren't working well, we aren't as productive at work, we avoid being home, we can get into unhealthy coping. As couples, we can trigger each other. But if this is addressed properly, it can be used for greater personal growth and strength in the relationship. Make your coupleship what it is intended to be.
