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

I teach couples "Full Respect Living." This is Terry Real's term for mastering the skills of relational living. Some of the skills I will teach you are: 1) sustaining healthy self-esteem, 2) maintaining healthy boundaries, 3) living in moderation, 4) acting on behalf of the relationship, and 5) negotiating wisely. It is often the case that practicing these skills can help you turn around a deteriorating couple relationship very quickly. However, when repetitive harmful patterns are operating in the relationship, we will need to look more deeply. I will help you to understand and change the self-defeating patterns that you have brought from your childhood into the current situation

Are you feeling fed up with your relationship? Are you and your partner growing apart? Do you find that fighting and arguing happen more often than laughing and snuggling? Being in an unhappy romantic relationship affects your emotional and physical health and tears your family apart. But things CAN get better. You can learn skills and strategies to forgive and work together, even when things seem hopeless. Couples counseling brings you closer and makes your relationship stronger. We understand that marriage requires a lot of work, but you can have the relationship you've always wanted. Call today to schedule your free consultation. (970) 227-2770

I have been in good relationships (I am currently happily married) and bad relationships, as we all have. I believe my personal experience with relationships, my schooling and training allows me to be a objective and compassionate partner in working with couples. Relationships are hard, no doubt about it, but by working through the issues they can improve.

Couples work is its own discreet field of counseling because of the unique, complex dynamics that only occur in a bond between two people. When we find a significant partner we care about, we want to nurture and grow our rapport, but may end up sabotaging it through misunderstandings & projections instead. In our work together, we will uncover the negative patterns that keep you & your loved one stuck in unproductive cycles. Once these beliefs and behaviors are uncovered, deep shifts in trust can happen. I use effective attachment-based models and self-regulation methods to facilitate compassionate change & connection between couples. I serve both heterosexual & same-sex relationships.
