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.

In couples counseling, my approach is rooted in fostering open communication, understanding, and collaboration between partners. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where both individuals can express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Through evidence-based techniques, such as active listening, conflict resolution strategies, I help couples develop effective communication skills and enhance their emotional connection. 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.

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.

Couples come to counseling because they are at an impasse--either they argue too much or they have stopped talking altogether. Maybe the intimacy is gone. Reconnecting is possible once the source of the conflict is resolved. Being flexible, respecftul, forgiving, and truly "hearing" your partner are key traits needed to resolve issues damaging your 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.

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!

Couples work is all about connecting to one another to build felt safety and attunement. We utilize the best of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in order to cut to the root of the problem, which is always about trust and communication. It is a highly effective process that yields consistent results. If your relationship is stuck in negative cycles, both of you feel unsafe and are never able to fully open up to one another. We work together to identify core emotions and reconnect in a safe way to get your relationship back to health.

Believing that marriage is the building block of families and society, we are strong advocates for healthy marriages. While many are content to help couples survive marriage, we want marriages to thrive. We have experience in helping couples to improve communication, recover from infidelity, reconnect sexually, develop solid co-parenting skills, and build intimacy on several levels - not the least of which is the spiritual health of the marriage. We help couples work within their personalities and strengths to build a strong marriage.

I facilitate constructive and open dialogues to strengthen relationships. Through effective communication strategies and conflict resolution techniques, I guide couples in addressing issues and enhancing emotional connection. My goal is to help partners rediscover shared goals, improve mutual understanding, and cultivate a healthier and more fulfilling partnership.

I work with married couples, as well as other couples in long-term relationships. In some cases, divorce, or the threat of divorce, is in the air. Sometimes, the same arguments come up over and over again, and never get resolved. Living with another person has many benefits, but it also often means there will be disagreements between the two of you. After all, you are two different people! Couples counseling can work wonders toward resolving some of those issues, while also teaching you how to thrive in spite of the issues that can't be fully resolved.

My goal for couples is to help them learn how to create a better marriage using the wisdom an d principles found in God's word. I help couples create a dependency on Jesus in their marriage, develop new emotional intimacy, and effectively communicate their needs to their spouse. I believe if I can help each spouse to grow to become their best self and stand on their own two feet that their marriage together will thrive.

In couples therapy the goal is to teach spouses to learn how to intervene with each other, to make their next conversation better, providing tools to work with to learn how to change communciation patterns, self soothe and even soothe on another. My work involves helping couples find a way to honor both of their life dreams, resolve conflicts and have a stable and satisifying marriage. Therapy involves an assessment of the marriage, the marital friendship- rebuilding positive aspects of your life together, dealing with conflict and improving interactions, reducing stress, rekindling the art of conversation, creating fun together and finding balance.

Couples counseling is similar to marriage counseling except the two people are not married. Sometimes this is premarital counseling. Sometimes it's with couples who are in a committed relationship, but are not married. Sometimes it's with couples who are divorced and are considering remarriage. If you are wanting to improve your relationship with a significant other, couples counseling is an option to consider. Your Tomorrow Can Feel Better Than Today.

Couples desire a relationship with their partner to be loving, caring, honest, and trustworthy. At times, poor communication and a lack of skills can hinder the development of a loving relationship. At Christ Centered Counseling we assist couples with learning the value of their relationship from a biblical perspective. Couples can expect to utilize Scripture, prayer, and communication skills to enhance their relationship and to work through challenges that hinder them from growing together in Christlike unity.
