Couples therapy often addresses communication problems, as well as sexual problems, such as lack of desire, sexual dysfunction, discomfort with sex, and sexual compulsion (aka sex addiction). It is important to look at the root problems of the relationship. Often, difficulties with communication cause the couple to grow further apart. As the couple grows further apart, there is less sex. As there is less sex, the couple will grow even further apart. This cycle continues until there in an intervention.

I use the Gottman Approach to Couples counseling with both married and unmarried couples. John Gottman is one of the leading experts on relationships with 30 years of scientifically backed research on what makes a relationship successful and happy. This approach relies on seven principles that will not only help couples improve communication, but will help couples feel better about each other again and remember why they fell in love in the first place. This will help couples to regain what is best about their relationship and each other and help them work through conflicts together as a team.

Couples Counseling or Marital Therapy may include diagnosis, assessment and treatment, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and processes. A Marriage Therapist should also be effective in helping treat individual emotional and behavioral problems as well as relationship issues. A Marital Therapist will focus on understanding her clients’ symptoms and the patterns of interaction with family and friends that may contribute to the problem. The Therapist will often ask questions about roles, dynamics, rules, goals, beliefs, and stages of development. About 65% of clients complete therapy in 15-20 sessions. Don't hesitate to seek help or call!
