Great Couples Counseling in St Petersburg, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

In couples counseling, a couple gets an opportunity to do something they rarely, if ever, do: discuss their problems with an impartial third party in a neutral environment which is not a part of their daily life. The counselor's participation adds a new perspective to the dynamic and begins to show the couple what they can accomplish, or maybe used to accomplish, but which has been undiscovered or neglected. My approach combines in-the-moment processing with ongoing feedback, presenting of relationship tools, and communication skills training, according to the couple's needs. Affection and communication are often the key, as they are often the foundation of every relationship.

Couples conflict ususally results from each person not dealing with his/her own damaged emotions. I work with each person bringing healing to his/her soul (mind and emotions). Once a good degree of healing has taken place, the couple is better able to understand each other and communicate on a healthy level. Also, I offer temperament analysis which is called Creation Therapy. This enable me to share with you the unique creation genetically coded into you at the time of your conception. CT identifies your strengths and your weaknesses. CT identifies your needs and how to get them met. Couples by coming to understand each other's temperament are better able to relate.

COVID-19 Stress, tension and anxiety places heavier weights on the best of relationships. Sheltering in place brings new challenges to daily life - who watches the children while both are “working from home”. . . how to prioritize the many new demands? I have over 35 years of working with couples of all ages and stages and 10 years seeing couples online as an E-Therapist. I can teach you how to resolve conflict, gain or restore a loving relationship that can last a lifetime. Weaving a Telehealth into this new reality can give you what you need to come through this crisis stronger and closer.

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.

Married, partnered, exclusive, non-exclusive, gay, straight, cis, trans, or poly…relationships are tough. Being in relationship with another human being is the hardest work we will ever do. Whether you’re struggling with something as painful as infidelity or as simple as whether to get another cat, we can help you find your way back to where you want to be.

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. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help men and their wives to rediscover the incredible value they bring to the marriage, and help them negotiate a hopeful path forward. I will help you identify destructive patterns in your marriage and provide healthier alternatives. I’ll help you improve communication, learn to fight fair, and increase understanding and connection. While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

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 don’t 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?
