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

Marriage is a beautiful gift, in which we experience a love that fills the depths of our heart and soul. But even the best relationships can experience conflict and distress. Couples need some essential skills to successfully work through their issues, such as communication, understanding, the ability to compromise, gratitude for one another, shared goals and a vision for the future of the relationship, understanding how you give and receive love, and more. We will help you identify what's at the root of your conflict and develop the skills to overcome it. Looking for marriage enrichment? Let's focus on the above things but also deepen your emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy.

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.

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.

Couples can find themselves unsure as to how their relationship has deteriorated, and feeling that it is impossible to repair or restore it. Utilizing tools from the John Gottman Relationship Couples Therapy and Bob Navarra Addiction Recovery, frequently relationships are stronger and more intimately connected than they ever were. Together we identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the relationship. Using practical skills, we build on the strengths, strengthen the weaknesses, and fill in the gaps. Utilizing these tools clients see changes in themselves and their relationships very quickly.

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?

Stepping up - creating a well connected, safe and giving relationship creates healthy intimacy. When partners fail to open up, share and "take their best shot" at mutual caring and interpersonal growth, they often stagnate and drift apart.

Relationships can be so hard and can feel easily disconnected. It takes maintenance and work to continue a healthy relationship. Just because you are fighting does not mean your relationship is bad or dysfunctional. It is about how you both can get through conflict together that makes the difference. Therapy can help you better communicate and connect with each other. Validation, empathy, and intimacy are key components to a relationship. One of my passions is to help you have a better relationship.

My practice includes Couples Counseling, Premarital Counseling, & Marital Counseling. In addition to being a Clinical Psychotherapist/Licensed Professional Counselor, I am also a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. The Prepare/Enrich program provides several unique benefits for clients regardless of how long the clients have been together as a couple. Utilizing this program, the couple completes an initial comprehensive online assessment that both partners complete independently. Results from the proprietary assessment identify, describe, & quantify a couple's risk factors. The program is also adaptable to allow for time to focus on specific problem areas where a couple tends to struggle.

We are never more vulnerable than when we give the gift of our self to another, to form a couple. Our interactions can turn into negative patterns that are hard to break on our own. We help couples identify what contributes to these patterns. We explore what each person thinks a good relationship looks like and what barriers may be currently in the way of achieving that view. By focusing not on what needs to be changed in our partner but what we can change in ourselves, we can help the couple see what they can do better together, than they could do as individuals on their own. If each person can gain a better understanding of themselves, they can learn to live more in harmony with the other.
