Relationships are wonderful and very important. However, they can also be very difficult. Conflict, strife , and discord are all apart of any relationship and can create stress in our lives, if we don't have the skills to maintain them. I am passionate about helping couples to work through relationships issues or even recover after breakups, divorce, separations. Let's talk about it!

It is very possible to have long lasting fulfilling relationships. Although they require a lot of work and can be one of the most difficult aspects of a person's life, it can also be the most positive influence on a person's health. There has been countless research done on how to relate to others in healthy ways and how to have successful relationships in all aspects of your life. I love sharing this knowledge and watching people have the connections they so deeply long for. Relationships are repairable and can always be growing and developing. Why not make the relationships in you life more fulfilling and meaningful.

When couples choose Melanie as their therapist, they get an advocate for the relationship--not to pick sides.

Same-sex and opposite-sex couples welcome.

Hope is a renewable blessing. One of the main ingredients to successful marital counseling is that clients want and believe that the process will work. Using the Gottman model and Family Systems Principles, I have had success in helping couples achieve new feelings and thinking that are positive. The emblematic triangle of Commitment, Passion, and Intimacy is explained and reinforced throughout all session work. Breakthroughs in intimacy for couples often happen right in session, though one or both partners is averse to or afraid of intimacy because of past experiences. Conflict resolution, communication, and downright friendship are all skills that can be learned through counseling.

Communication problems and intimacy issues can lead to a breakdown in connection between you and your partner. In counseling you will focus on healing through reconnecting with your partner by creating new, shared meanings about the relationship. Typically, clients rely on old assumptions about how to make a relationship work. These different perspectives often get in the way. Ultimately, your ability to be understanding and compassionate for your partner will improve your ability to communicate more effectively. Improved communication will lead to more openness, which will inevitably lead to greater intimacy and a more satisfying relationship.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

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 dont 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?

There are countless models of healthy romantic relationships, from monogamous to polyamorous, and unique variations between partners. The scripts for dating and longterm relationships of our parents’ generations may not be applicable to your relationship, and there is no formal education in how to be a good partner or how to identify unhealthy relationships. But there is psychological research that shows that effective communication, emotional openness, intimacy, and other factors contribute to healthy relationships. Creating these conditions are skills that can be learned. I practice brief humanistic and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help my LGBTQ and hetero clients learn these skills.

A committed relationship isn't always one in which marriage is involved. Couples therapy is an approach to help you to learn to listen to each other deeply. Intimacy, transparency, and vulnerability are key to your relationship success. In addition, learning to soothe yourself prior to your communication so that you can treat each other in new and supportive ways is helpful. Lastly, learning to have special regard to the uniqueness of your partner's needs can help your couple's relationship to succeed. (I am an ally and treat all couples.)

Feeling connected loved, accepted, and secure in a relationship is vital to our emotional and physical well-being. Couples often get caught in "negative cycles of communication," which is detrimental to the relationship. Feelings of anxiety, fear, or loneliness heighten yet are often covered up by "anger or "numbness." One or both of you might go on the defense and possibly someone just "shuts-down. I help partners recognize their unhealthy cycle, team-up against "negative cycle," and learn new ways to connect and communicate that help each of you feel more connected, safe, and secure. Couples. I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) when working with couples.

Relationships can bring us to both the best of times and the worst. I am fascinated by exploring and growing behaviors and patterns that make relationships work, while also creating a space to explore and process times that have been hurtful or potentially where someone has been left feeling betrayed. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space that feels non judgmental and accepting as couples therapy typically brings with it many difficult topics of discussion. Navigating a relationship is no easy feat, even for people who have years of experience. Having a couples therapist who is comfortable exploring new areas and patterns in relationship can be invaluable

By working collaboratively with the couple, I strive to empower them with tools and strategies to navigate conflicts, rebuilds trust, and cultivate a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
