About
I specialize in working with couples. Most people claim communication is what causes conflict in relationships. The fact is you know how to speak and express yourself. Chances are, you are already voicing which of your needs are not getting met and you might also be sharing your feeling of being misunderstood or neglected. Yet it doesn't seem to be working. The couples I work with are often capable of these expressions however, they are not equipped with the tools to discern what else is important to communicate to their partner.
There are many key practices for de-escalating conflicts and finding understanding. For example, asking questions to explore what the other person is experiencing. And mindfulness of defensive responses, devaluing, and actions that send the message "our relationship is not a priority" can interfere with repairing the past and building a new healthy future.
Feeling unheard, not being made a priority, or having your vulnerability met with anger or silence are all relationship dynamics that can be overcome with couples counseling. Please contact me to set up a time to discuss your challenges and how my counseling might be the support you need to transform your relationship.
