Great Couples Counseling in Ault, CO. Therapy to heal relationships.

Every relationship has its own nervous system; it's a living story between two people. I help couples slow down enough to notice what happens beneath the arguments, while building a toolkit of emotional awareness, communication skills, and repair work. Through emotionally focused and body-based work, we'll uncover what each partner’s nervous system is trying to protect. Mindfulness slows reactivity; curiosity invites repair. The goal isn’t perfect communication, but rather learning to cultivate an environment of emotional safety that can hold honest conflict.
