Great Couples Counseling in Boynton Beach, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Navigating relationship challenges can be difficult. That's why I’m here to help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your bond. In our sessions, we’ll work together to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your understanding of each other. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard and valued. Using evidence-based techniques, I guide you in developing healthier patterns and rebuilding trust, so your relationship can thrive and grow stronger.

Are you feeling lonely in your own marriage? Disrespected? Misunderstood? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Far too often, high-achieving men feel disrespected and lonely within their own marriages. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help men and their wives to rediscover the incredible value they bring to the marriage, and help them negotiate a hopeful path forward. I will help you identify destructive patterns in your marriage and provide healthier alternatives. I’ll help you improve communication, learn to fight fair, and increase understanding and connection. While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Couples counseling with me is a safe, inviting space to deepen your connection, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your bond. I bring a warm, modern approach that focuses on understanding each partner’s unique needs while fostering open communication and trust. Whether you’re navigating challenges or simply seeking to enrich your relationship, I’ll guide you with compassion and tailored strategies to rebuild harmony and intimacy. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for growth and connection that feels authentic and meaningful.

When working with couples my approach is to listen without taking sides. Communication is typically the key to the misunderstandings, and learning to use “I statements” and communicating to be heard is taught in the sessions. I help each individual learn to see things from the other person's perspective by using role play in the sessions. Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are often used with couples. Clients are given specific assignments to work on that helps them learn their own strengths and challenges as well as that of their partner. This helps them to appreciate what the other person brings to the relationship.

Most couples counselors expect you to come weekly for many months, and you will not know in advance how much time and money you will have to spend. Couples almost always need just 3 or 4 sessions with me to leave happily, their problems gone permanently. Couples who have seen me over the years have paid much less than they would have paid to old-fashioned therapists who get so bogged down in psychoanalyzing couples that most couples quit in frustration, having wasted lots of money and found no permanent solutions. How can I enable change in such a short time? We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems.

The frustration of feeling misunderstood by a partner can lead to intense emotions and disconnection. In our sessions, will work together to increase awareness of your needs and dig deep to understand where those needs come from. Through that deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, intimacy and connection feels more natural and safe. As your therapist, I will help you communicate in ways you each can hear and strive to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where couples can share honestly and openly.

Life is about relationships. When you consider what makes most people happy or sad it is usually the health of their relationships. Your relationship may just be starting out, you may define it as a committed, exclusive one or you may be struggling through some marital conflicts. If you find yourself wondering how to make your relationship work as a couple, improve your communication, enhance and improve your relationship or perhaps you are just wondering if you can sustain a healthy relationship; don't battle alone. At Gateway we specialize in couple counseling and can help you as a couple.

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?
