The Interpersonal Flexibility Circle is a great way to explore our relationships. Given that I developed that method, relationship counseling can take on a logic and patterns that can make more sense than in the past. It is so important to recognize how old experiences impact our present, so I will help couples to share old experiences that are impacting their current relationship. I belong to a group called Marriage Friendly Therapists. I have also been divorced, but am in a 25 year relationship now, so I am thankful for what my life experience teaches me.
As a marriage and family therapist, I am well-trained and experienced in finding commonalities and resolutions between couples. My goal is to help couples understand the misunderstood, speak the unspoken, improve communication, and discover hope from hopelessness.
I use the four (or more) session model for relationship counseling. For the first session I meet with all the partners to establish what issues brought them to counseling. Then in the second and third (or more) sessions I meet with each partner individually so that they can say things to me that they don't want to say in front of their partner(s) and then for the fourth session I meet with all the partners together to review what I have learned and lay out my proposed treatment moving forward. I have found this method to be very effective, especially when compared to strictly relationship sessions.
