About Marriage Counseling
As your marriage counselor I can help you and your partner to work through your problem issues, and to develop a relationship that is healthy and strong. Whether you are dealing with a relationship crisis, troublesome behaviors, a challenging transition, or just looking to improve an already good relationship, as an experienced professional marriage counselor I can be a valuable source of guidance, understanding, and support for you.
Having a professional in your corner, who is highly trained as a marriage counselor, is important when your relationship is at risk. I can assist you in working through the frustration and resentment and move you more quickly toward results. I take great satisfaction in helping a couple move from a place of difficulty to one of more joy and intimacy.
The initial session, when I first meet with you as a couple, is a ninety-minute appoinment. This allows us the time to have a good start. Typically, when a couple begins counseling, there is a lot of information that needs to be made known to me. Scheduling ninety-minutes together allows for you to share about your problems more fully so that we can understand them better. This will enable us to begin addressing your concerns sooner and move more quickly towards resolving the issues.
During our work together, I will give you assignments to complete at home that will help you to build and improve on your relationship skills. Before we meet, I will send some basic information forms for you to fill out and return to me, and some reading to prepare you for couples counseling. Providing this background information to me in written form saves us from having to use session time. Lastly, I will help you to create personal goals for your relationship, based on the results that you would like to achieve during counseling.
Some of the things that you can expect from me during our time together include:
- Providing you with practical tools and techniques to help you feel more connected to your partner.
- Educating you about the negative repeating patterns that are harmful to your relationship.
- Coaching you specifically about what works and what does not work in your relationship.
- Helping you to learn how to manage your negative feelings and emotions to prevent damaging interactions with your partner.
