Couples argue about many things, and it's normal to have disagreements. What you do at those times will determine whether your relationship will survive. Learning how to communicate effectively, from a position of love and respect, is my main focus when working with couples.
I provide couples therapy to adults of all ages from young adults through older adults. I conduct psychotherapy from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) orientation and couples therapy utilizing the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I work with diverse couples to enhance their connection and communication and also provide pre-marital, divorce, marriage and relationship counseling services.
Signs of Communication Issues:
- Attempts to communicate often end in arguments and disagreements
- Criticizing and blaming each other
- Feeling like you are often defending yourself
- Having conversations about the same topics without seeing change
- Challenges communicating about responsibilities, expectations, and needs
- Making fewer attempts to connect with each other
We welcome all couples, including heterosexual and GLBT couples, interfaith couples and interracial couples. We respect and appreciate the wide range of religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages, cultures and backgrounds of the couples who seek help at Strides in Psychotherapy. We hope you will give us the chance to help you!
