Great Couples Counseling in Riverbank, CA. Therapy to heal relationships.

I have years of experience working with people to improve their relationships. I have training from the Gottman Institute and use many of the concepts in my own office to increase the understanding of the basic foundations of successful long-term relationships. At this time I am treating couples by treating the individual partner to improve the couple dynamics.

Are you and your partner having constant battles, difficulty communicating with one another, or having difficulty resolving your differences? Seeking support from an objective and nonjudgmental therapist can help. I provide couples counseling focusing on supporting each person, enhancing communication, building a stronger bond, resolving differences, exploring family of origin issues, conducting discussions that may be difficult to discuss, and approaching problems in an a effective and objective manner. Please call today for a free consultation for more information.

In my Couples Counseling work I help partners build on the strengths of their relationship while we work together to create new skills for communicating and solving problems. My approach is collaborative and I teach each partner to learn how to listen and hear what the other is expressing and needing as well as ways to be heard and understood better. I provide a safe place where difficult problems can be discussed and solutions explored and practiced so that couples can better resolve ongoing problems.

New, evolving, and long term couples benefit from our use of Gottman Method, Narrative therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, positive psychology or Imago Relationship Therapy. Our licensed therapist are skilled and trained to use one or a multiple therapy methods and approaches to help couples. Our desire is to help couples communicate, interact, make decisions, and live daily in harmony.

Couples can get in a routine and can get bored with the relationship. This can lead to drifting apart and turning away from each other. Some couples deals with trust issues that can really break the marriage if not fixed. I help couples to rebuild their relationship and feel safe and secure with their spouse. They learn how to rekindle the love and admiration that got them together to begin with.

Without conflict, couples do not achieve intimacy. The challenge is helping you and your partner learn how to have healthy conflict that leads to intimacy, rather than destructive conflict that destroys the relationship. While I work with all couples, I specialize in working with neuro-diverse couples. I usually start with helping you learn ground rules for being able to have safe, constructive, healthy conflict to reduce and eliminate destructive relational patterns. I also use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you reconnect, learn healthy communication skills, rekindle the flame that you once had, and start talking to each other again. If you are willing to work, I am here for you!
