Great Couples Counseling in Sewall's Point, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

I am a Prepare Enrich Therapist and use a strength-based approach with couples by capitalizing upon their resiliencies, talents, and coping abilities to increase positive interaction while building supportive, trust-based relationships. The benefit a couple will receive working with me is that each member of the unit will be encouraged and reinforced in their own responsibility for self-care to enhance the relationship itself and to facilitate a meaningful life together.

Whether you are struggling with infidelity, lack of intimacy or conflict, couples therapy can help restore trust, passion and sense of partnership in your relationship. I will help you identify your contribution to the current situation and figure out the steps needed to make the desired changes in your relationship. We will work to recognize each partner’s needs in the relationship and how to communicate effectively to have those needs met. We will work on enhancing intimacy through increasing acceptance of each other’s struggles and imperfections. Finally, I will help you create a shared vision for your future that will strengthen your sense of partnership and continuity as a couple.

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.

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.

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.

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?

This includes couples who are partners and not married, married partners (of any sexual orientation), siblings, parent-child or unrelated friends. My experience of 50 years working with all types of couples integrates a number of techniques and is tailored to each couple, depending on the presenting issues and situation.
