Great Couples Counseling in Cramerton, NC. Therapy to heal relationships.

In the context of the experiential process couples are supported with a safe environment structured to encourage each partner to identify internal states (thoughts and feelings) of the immediate experience/ task that are influencing behavior patterns. Reflection on each person’s behavior patterns and how the patterns interact within the context of the experiential activity and process opens the door to behavioral change in the form of new routines, boundaries, and practices as well as developing emotional intelligence skills. The experiential process and techniques allow for an increase in and enhancement of the level of intimacy between the two individuals in the relationship.

I love to see thriving couple relationships. You want to have a thriving relationship, but there has been something that has driven you apart, injured the relationship, or kept you from connecting the way you desire. I can provide practical skills for changing, and also help you grow in connecting and healing in safe and healthy ways. I help you discover the relational patterns that are creating problems for your relationship, and new patterns that help you thrive and heal. I journey with you in coming together in meaningful interaction and shape each other and make something beautiful.

Using a combination of Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couples therapy, I will help you and your partner identify your problem areas and negative cycles that keep you stuck and support your relationship moving back into a pattern of ease and intimacy. We will support increased core emotion expression, identification of each individual's needs, breaking down old negative habits, and reconstructing new habits that will keep your connection strong for the long term. Let's discuss your needs today in a free consultation.

I enjoy working with all types of couples and do not follow the same modalities for each. Depending on the concerns or goals of the couple I pull from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy models. Communication and trust are two of the main concerns couples bring to counseling, having a neutral 3rd party to listen, educate, and assist with regulation instead of judging or picking a side can make all the difference in a struggling relationship.
