Great Couples Counseling in Carrollton, TX. Therapy to heal relationships.

Couples counseling is extremely rewarding work when the lights come on for the couple about how to relate to each other in ways that they both appreciate. We begin with basic understandings about boundaries and learn quickly how to talk and act in healthier ways. Most of us simply communicate the way that our parents did and if we can learn to improve on this just a little, there is almost immediate relief. Using better boundaries (even in talking) are the building block for healthier communication and better emotional intimacy.

If you're part of a couple in distress, you may feel that there's no way out of your troubled relationship. Myths about the low success rates of couples therapy and counseling only make your situation seem worse than it is. Both types of therapy are structured, and the results of both are well documented, at least in follow-ups for a few years. Still, the entire field of couples therapy suffers from a systemic problem. The problem is real enough: couples often wait until very late in the game. Using Temperament Therapy, we can get the root of God's Plan for each of you and make decisions. based on His word.

Communication and boundaries are the key to any healthy relationship! Whether best friends, mother/daughter, co-workers, ex spouses. Learn how to take the emotion out of communicating truth in a respectful and appropriate manner and find incredible peace in your life. Expectations of other people's behavior is toxic. Expecting ourselves to be responsible for another person's happiness is exhausting and ridiculous. Learn what healthy relationships look like - you will love it!

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.

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?

Couples' therapy aims to help couples recognize conflicts, resolve conflicts, and improve their relationships. Through couples' therapy, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding your relationship or going your separate ways. I am trained in several evidence-based couples' therapy models. I help couples understand underlying issues in their relationship, explore how their past has shaped their present behavior, and gain a better understanding of each other’s emotions.

There is no such thing as "finding the right person." Happy couples are happy because they BECOME the right person. Through couples therapy you will learn how to value your partner, maintain appropriate and healthy boundaries, and grow as an individual while moving toward oneness. My goal is to help you communicate more effectively, become emotionally intimate, and connect with each other in honoring way. End your search for the non-existent "perfect fit" and learn how to bring happiness into your relationship.
