One of the most important skills couples need to learn is how to work through their differences. As a couple’s therapist, my focus is to help you learn ways to resolve your conflict. I have been a Certified Imago Therapist for over 20 years, (https://imagorelationships.org), and have helped couples learn by focusing on their partners needs instead of trying to change them. I also guide couples through learning how to speak their truth in an open and loving way. Pre-marital therapy is a special interest of mine and working with individuals towards being the best version of themselves. In couples therapy, I teach a very specific way to learn not only what triggers you have but also how they impact your partner. Through validation, empathy and new listening skills, both partners will learn ways that will lessen the overall negative reactivity in the relationship and increase the safety; allowing the hurts underneath to be heard and healed. Every day we make 1000s of choices, today there may be a part of you that wants to make a choice towards giving your relationship the best chance it can have to rebuild, to renew, and to re-connect in a way you have been searching for. Therapy can provide the opportunity to learn how to make new decisions to build a better life. You are on your way.
