Great Couples Counseling in St Paul, MO. Therapy to heal relationships.

Whether it is pre-marital counseling or you are seeking help to navigate the numerous issues that come up in your relationships, I want to help you and your partner work through the difficulty. My goal in couples counseling is to begin to open communication lines. By working alongside, I want to help educate, process and lead you and your partner to a better relationship.

Couples who see me for counseling can expect several things. First, I'm going to emphasize that your relationship is the client that I'll be working with. Second, each of you contributes both positively and negatively to the quality of the relationship. Third, change in the relationship can take place if you own your contribution and determine what new behaviors you'd like to see. Lastly, I'll focus on assisting you in building a firm foundation for lasting intimacy that can continue for years after therapy has concluded.

When you enter a committed relationship, the assumption is that you’re supposed to know how to “do” relationships. But it’s not always that easy; we don’t learn relationships in school. I enjoy helping couples bring peace, stability and communication back into their relationship, thus improving their lives and the lives of those most affected by the relationship. My clients often report less discord, arguing, and tension, and many experience greater confidence, happiness, and emotional and mental strength. A more harmonious marriage or relationship reduces stress, provides greater energy, and helps children. Couple’s counseling can help you enjoy all that your relationship was meant to be.

Do you feel misunderstood or find yourself constantly arguing? Wondering if you are in the right relationship? You are not alone. Most relationships get caught in a cycle where it becomes impossible to have an effective conversation. I can help provide a safe space for more meaningful communication. Together we will explore the deeper reasons for your feelings and behaviors and that insight will help guide a richer understanding of yourself and your partner. This turns arguing to get your point across into talking with one another to gain understanding. From here you build trust, increase intimacy and over all strengthen the connection between the two of you.
