Premarital Counseling
You may be seeking guidance as you and your fiancé are preparing for your marriage. As a trained Prepare/Enrich Facilitator, I use customized assessment tools to address the following areas over five sessions:
Explore strength and growth areas
Strengthen communication skills
Learn how to resolve conflict
Process how family of origin issues impact the relationship
Understand personality differences and maximize teamwork
Couples Therapy
Are you and your partner stuck in the same vicious cycles without being able to find a solution? It may seem impossible to communicate at times as you let your emotions overtake you. I'm guessing that you could even be tired of getting hurt and have shut your partner out altogether.
Through the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work collaboratively with couples to help understand their "dance" or patterns that they have constantly found themselves in for years or even decades. Through our work together, we will aim towards:
Identifying negative cycles/patterns
Understanding and accessing underlying emotions
Becoming more vulnerable with each other
Creating a new kind of interaction
Fostering secure bonding with one another
