FEEL LOVE NOW
with Couples Counseling
Couples and Relationship Counseling
to heal and deepen your love connections
Your desires to connect like you did when you fell in love can happen.
Your relationship can get better with expert help.
Old reactivity can soften & be replaced by showing up with love first.
Come learn how.
Are you feeling anxious or lonely in your couple’s relationship? Has your heart felt broken?
Wishing you felt more connected to your partner?
You are not alone… things can get better.
For things to get better, you're gonna need to be brave. You see, when you’ve been in a cycle of disconnection for a while, it takes some intentional work to get things going right again. It will be worth it.
Relationships are about reach, risk and reward. They are also about truth, trust, and safety. Come experience couples therapy with a trained expert who can help you navigate this uncertain time.
To enter couple’s therapy (or marriage counseling), you’ll need to be brave on a regular basis. You can do this. Brave to act with kindness when inside you’re feeling neglected or disappointed. Brave to reach for connection, instead of withdrawing or giving into fear. Brave to keep coming back to therapy even when you aren’t sure it’s helping. Things can change with good couples therapy.
Has there been a betrayal in your relationship? Are you wondering if you can forgive and move forward? The truth is, as a therapist who has been doing extensive training in working with couples for over 15 years, I help couples heal deep betrayals by their dedicated work in couples therapy.
There is a path forward to help you heal from what hurts in your relationship. If you want a deeper connection, and want to learn how to make things better, then you're in the right place.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. -Rumi
Distance in a relationship grows when fear, anger and deep anxiety are left to fester, often from the roots of wrong perception. When these negative feelings are on board, when you feel so far from your loved one, this is the time for couples counseling.
LEARN how to open your heart to your partner again, and
learn how to be open to showing them love too.
What couple’s therapy is like with me…
I practice Internal Family Systems Therapy blended with Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy. Internal Family Systems honors all the parts of you, especially the parts that are triggered in your relationship. EFT Couple’s counseling (marriage counseling) helps create a more secure bond in your relationship. If you have ever tried another type of couple’s therapy, you will notice the difference in this one.
When you come see me for couple’s therapy, we start by meeting all together for an assessment of the relationship (past and present) (Session #1). In this meeting, I am not looking for who messed up or who is at fault- but we will talk about what is not working now, also (and almost more importantly) what drew you together in the first place. I want to hear from you both about what you are seeking in the relationship. Session #1 is best done as a double session- so plan for 2 “hours” (100 minutes). This gives me time to really hear from each of you and to also help you begin to get clarity on how to point your relationship in a new direction.
Next, I meet with each of you individually (sessions #2 & #3, a single session each) and then on session #4 we meet all together again.
Working toward change may involve experiencing difficult and intense feelings, but I will guide you on being brave and helping you connect in a much better way.
Love relationships thrive when we add in the caring and indispensable element of loving-kindness. Be mindful of how you talk to your loved one. In our couples’ sessions, you will learn how to calm your feelings, pay attention to what parts feel active, and choose your words wisely, especially when you feel the need to advocate for yourself at the moment when things are feeling less than perfect.
You have the power to lift others up with your voice. The person you love will be so glad that you did. Then watch them perk up like flowers that just got watered.
Let’s start you on the road to re-connection and healing your relationship.
