If you're looking for a better way of relating, either through couples work or individually, I can help. If you and your spouse /partner are looking back and seeing a repeating cycle of negativity, I help with Emotionally Focused Counseling for couples (EFT-c). If there's been infidelity and I can help with Affair Recovery - a specific process prior to the start of couples or marriage counseling. If you are at the brink of your relationship, I can help them with discernment counseling. Discernment helps couples clarify if they want to go one of three directions: keep everything the same, amicably break up, or dedicating the next 6 months to working on the relationship through couples or marriage counseling. DIscernment really strives to just help that clarity.
If you are an individual who wants to do your relationship differently, but either are in between relationships, or have an unwilling spouse or partner, I help in the following ways:
1. Really understand the root cause of the conflict or growing apart in the relationship.
2. Possibly do trauma work around those root causes using EMDR, Guided meditation, and family of origin work.
3. Understand how to communicate what you understand about your partner's or spouse's experience that may be helpful in healing.
4. Invite your partner into couples counseling.
