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

In couples counseling, I create a safe and supportive space where both partners feel heard, respected, and valued. My approach focuses on strengthening emotional connection, improving communication, and understanding the underlying patterns that may be causing conflict or disconnection. Whether you're navigating new relationship dynamics, trust issues, or feeling stuck in old cycles, I help couples reconnect with empathy, curiosity, and intention. Together, we’ll build tools for deeper intimacy, healthier boundaries, and a more fulfilling and balanced partnership.

No matter the type of partnership or relationship you are in, they take attention and adaptation flourish. With all of the various priorities and obligations, sometimes our relationships take a back seat. My goal as a therapist is to reestablish connection by helping both partners learn more about themselves, their partner, the partnership, and defining how you both want to move forward with clarity and respect.

Couples join together bringing with them the learned patterns of their family of origin (how to handle finances, discipline children, organize activities, etc). So the first hurdle couples face is deciding which rules should be used in the new partnership. In addition, each member of the couple brings with them childhood wounds that may have occurred from their families, at school, at church or in society in general. If we learn to communicate in meaningful ways with our partners we can actually help each other heal these wounds and in so doing, experience the deeply fulfilling relationships we first sought to have with the person we’ve chosen to spend our time with.

When working with couples, I use talk therapy, a family systems approach, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Working with couples is unique and can be complex. It is important to examine each person as an individual, help them become their best self and then work on ways to help them grow together as a unit. It is to be noted that it is difficult to achieve progress with couples therapy if both parties are not fully committed to the therapy process.

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
