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

Relationships require compassion, respect, and recognition of "other" to thrive. We learn how to be in relationship in childhood, and naturally bring those skills to adult life. Through insight into individual beliefs and patterns and how those contribute to you seeing and hearing others, you can make adjustments to enhance your relationships.

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.

Be it married, partnered, dating, engaged, separated, divorced, or another arrangement, I offer couples counseling to help address concerns you have about your relationship. Couples counseling is unique because your relationship is my client. I consider the unique needs of you and your partner, but the main focus is on your relationship. My role in couples counseling is to assist communication in your relationship. My approach involves teaching you and your partner skills to distinguish healthy communication from unhealthy communication. The idea is for your relationship to replace unhealthy patterns of interaction with healthier styles of communication.

As summer winds down and the back-to-school season kicks into high gear, many families find themselves faced with a surge of stress. From starting new routines to managing academic pressures, this time of year can be particularly challenging. For parents, the strain of these changes often exacerbates existing tensions in relationships, highlighting the importance of maintaining a strong, communicative partnership. This is where couples counseling, particularly through convenient virtual therapy services, can make a significant difference.

We specialize in couples counseling. Our approach is one which acknowledges the emotional aspect of both individuals. We listen intently and provide a critical analysis so that all involved have a clear understanding of the issue and where there is possible miscommunication. We have found that there are typically areas in which both individuals can improve, and we focus on where those areas of improvement are needed. We also understand the delicate nature of couples counseling in that each is typically passionate in their own beliefs. We are very skilled communicators in getting buy in to where personal growth is needed.

Relationships devastated by infidelity, pornography, addiction, lies and betrayal can feel hopeless. My personal and professional experience has taught me relationships can overcome this if both parties are motivated to get help and do the work. It takes time and is not easy. Patience and empathy, especially from the injuring party, are crucial. I can show you how healing is possible.

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?

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.

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.

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.
