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

I work with couples to increase responsiveness, trust, and intimacy in relationships. I help partners see how each of their behaviors impact and influence their partner's reactions and how the combination of these reactions lead to self-perpetuating cycles that continue to hurt the relationship. Together we work on skills to decrease blame and defensiveness, increase understanding and responsiveness, and create healing. Premarital counseling also available, and includes important research-based information and insight regarding how reasons for marrying may have implications for the success of the union.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties dont agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

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.
