Couples counseling brings couples together to strengthen and solidify their relationship. Issues of communication, intimacy, finances, parenting, and emotional needs are some of the things that are commonly addressed in couples counseling. Talking about these issues can be difficult and having a couples therapist available to offer an unbiased, non-judgemental outlook can help you reach a resolution more quickly. Seeking help regarding your relationship can be imperative to creating change in your relationship.
I have been trained by Drs. John and Julie Gottman in the Gottman method which is a research based approach to relationships. The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
