Each member plays a part in the overall functioning of the family. We may address:
Couples
Relationships are one of life's biggest puzzles. There are many pieces that go into making the right fit that it can seem overwhelming. We are so heavily invested in our relationships yet we often struggle with the skills on how to communicate, manage conflict, and stay connected to our partner....all of which are essential in having a stable, happy relationship! I am passionate about working with couples who are willing to take their relationship to the next level and maximize the potential that is there. Couples in crisis are couples who are in a position to elevate their relationship and make it better than it ever was before. There is hope for those who are struggling. Some of the issues could include:
Premarital Education
Do you have the tools you need to navigate the challenges of marriage? I can better prepare you to stay connected, manage conflict and accommodate the differences that each partner brings to the relationship. Research shows that couples who participate in premarital counseling are more likely to report higher levels of marital satisfaction than those who do not. A better understanding of your partner can make a lasting impact on your married life together.
