Great Couples Counseling in Woodburn, OR. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships are tough! Being part of a couple is an amazing experience but sometimes it brings hurt. Old wounds may become active. I work with couples at every stage of the relationship. Together will explore relational needs and desires, improve communication, and resolve conflict. Will work through infidelities and betrays. Bring the two you closer together and learn new things about your partner. I work with both traditional and non-traditional couples. Call, email, or text me today.

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?

I believe we were designed for relationship, yet being in relationship is often hard work! If you are experiencing a rocky place along your path, need help to move past woundings, learning to communicate effectively, pre-marital counseling, or just to strengthen and deepen an already solid relationship, working with a therapist can help. Let the journey begin!

When you and your partner/spouse entered into your relationship, you both brought with you distinct, rich personal histories. These life experiences contribute to the way we interpret others' messages, how we react in certain situations, and the style of communication that feels most comfortable to us. I will observe your interactive style and patterns, and help you and your partner identify underlying causes, past experiences or interactive styles that have you stuck in a cycle of unresolved conflictual communication.

If you're in a committed relationship with a partner, then chances are you've had some conflict at some point. (if you haven't, then I'm surprised you're reading this!) Most of us have had difficult experiences in the past that are difficult to fully leave behind us. Whether your relationship is new or decades old, counseling can help improve your communication and your sense of connection. Even if you aren't sure you'll stay together long term, we can discuss the patterns that show up in your relationships.

My work with couples is centered around creating a deeply intimate relationship that is made to last. I teach couples tools to help their relationship reach the next level. I am Gottman method couples therapy level one trained. This method is based on decades of researching couples to see what makes or breaks couple relationships. I believe in thoroughly assessing the relationship before treating the relationship.
