Couples Therapy

Lasting relationships require a strong foundation.

You decided to get married, but want to ensure you’re both ready.

Finding someone to spend the rest of your life with is a wonderful yet daunting decision. Getting married is a big step, and you must ensure you’re both prepared.

You want to clear the air and start with a solid foundation. The best time to attend couples therapy is before you need it. Work through your issues and learn new ways to connect and cope together.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy helps create a sound relational house with love maps. Learn to be curious about one another and understand each partner’s needs.

Improving communication is key.

Couples find it challenging to communicate their needs in a way their partner can understand. Many learn to avoid the topic, walk on eggshells, and then explode when it comes up again! This cycle occurs almost endlessly. Although you may talk a lot, you never resolve the problem.

While Gottman asserts that we will adopt a set of problems in each relationship, it does not have to be an endless loop of conflict.

Together, you will learn how to talk to each other and, most importantly, how to listen.

By listening and truly understanding, you two can reach a common ground.

Therapy strengthens your relationship.

You want to find a therapist who will listen and guide you, but you may also want someone to be more directive.

Using the Gottman Method and resources, I will help you learn from time-tested tools to strengthen your relationship.

We will discuss the Four Horsemen (contempt, criticism, stonewalling, and defensiveness) that can end a relationship and help you develop strategies for working through complex topics.

Feel confident in moving forward together.

You have worked hard to find a partner you love and trust. Now you want to build this bright future together as best you can.

Marriage and relationships are never perfect, but couples can learn great ways to be together and enjoy their relationship.

Getting started with a therapist, whether before you’re married or shortly after, can give you an advantage that you did not have before. Feel confident in these next steps and move forward together.
