Great Couples Counseling in Fern Park, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with years of training and experience helping couples to navigate the most painful and difficult chapter in their relationships. I will guide you with compassion, empathy, and a skill set that is born in working with couples across the country in their healing journeys. I have been featured in Forbes, the Knot, and other leading media outlets discussing relationships, intimacy, and communication. I’d love to connect with you and your partner about the unique circumstances that you are facing and how I might be able to help.

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.

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.

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.

Helping couples improve their relationship is my main area of expertise.

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.

Couples counseling with me is a safe, inviting space to deepen your connection, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your bond.

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.

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 dont 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?

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.

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.

I use many different therapeutic approaches in my work with couples, including my training in the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, and the work of Dr. Sue Johnson (Emotionally Focused Couples Counseling). I help couples improve communication, reduce conflict and argument, increase commitment and passion, heal from infidelity and other breaches of trust, and reach better understanding on financial, sexual, child-raising and discipline, and blended family issues.

Jennifer enjoys working with couples to assist them to regain the spark that they had when the relationship was new. She does not take sides on issues but may point out how individual behavior is affecting the relationship. Jennifer encourages open honest communication with each other as well as her in order to strengthen the relationship. She may suggest individual sessions along with the couple's sessions.

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.

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!
