We are passionate about and skilled with helping couples to repair and strengthen their relationship by utilizing techniques from evidence-based practices such as Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method.

Are you feeling lonely in your own marriage? Disrespected? Misunderstood? It doesn’t have to stay this way. Far too often, high-achieving men feel disrespected and lonely within their own marriages.

When working with couples my approach is to listen without taking sides. Communication is typically the key to the misunderstandings, and learning to use “I statements” and communicating to be heard is taught in the sessions. I help each individual learn to see things from the other person's perspective by using role play in the sessions. Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are often used with couples. Clients are given specific assignments to work on that helps them learn their own strengths and challenges as well as that of their partner. This helps them to appreciate what the other person brings to the relationship.

Life is about relationships. When you consider what makes most people happy or sad it is usually the health of their relationships. Your relationship may just be starting out, you may define it as a committed, exclusive one or you may be struggling through some marital conflicts. If you find yourself wondering how to make your relationship work as a couple, improve your communication, enhance and improve your relationship or perhaps you are just wondering if you can sustain a healthy relationship; don't battle alone. At Gateway we specialize in couple counseling and can help you as a couple.

Let me guess. One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. I can help you get under the bickering to the parts crying out for connection- to an enriching relationship.

Couples work is unique and interesting. What a lot of people don't understand it that of course you have different viewpoints - you are in different bodies, have different life experiences and are actually looking at different views! Many times the problem is simply communication: no matter how many times you tell your partner what you need, they just don't hear it. That is where I come in- helping people to get heard and also to hear clearly! In this way there can be a softening and a coming together, with both partners feeling loved and understood. You don't have to continue fighting, and counseling doesn't mean you failed. It is a gift you give your relationship to help nurture it.
