Great Couples Counseling in Trenton, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships are supposed to be one of most fulfilling parts of our lives, but without the proper coping skills and relationship tools they can quickly become stagnant, toxic and highly dysfunctional. This often leads to affairs, substance abuse and other infidelities. The work I do with couples is more of a coaching model in that I work with the couples in my office practicing new, different and effective ways of communication and resolving conflicts. When couples are able to practice these new tools during their counseling sessions, they are more likely to follow-through and use these tools between counseling appointments.

Couples therapy offers a supportive environment to improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Whether you're facing conflict, life transitions, or simply feeling distant, our therapist helps both partners feel heard and understood. You'll learn tools to resolve disagreements more constructively, strengthen your bond, and grow together as a team. Every relationship faces challenges, and couples therapy guides you in navigating them with care, honesty, and renewed commitment to each other.

Couples counseling…whether you are a married couple, a living-together couple, a same-sex couple or a couple of friends...will help clarify individual wants, needs and expectations when your relationship seems to be going sour. It will also offer a template for healthy relationships. Then through our time together we will consider ways to accommodate your wants, needs and expectations in a manner that honors healthy relating. The health of a relationship is only as good as the health of the individual.

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.

Working with couples is extremely specialized and should only be done with a trained clinician. Please ask the right questions to ensure you are in good hands with someone who knows how to guide you. The client is the relationship - not the individuals! So an individual therapist is not the way to go here. At KML, we have a trained PSYPACT psychologist who is licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), so she can work in any PSYPACT state. This work should focus on what the couple wants for their relationship (sometimes the goal is uncoupling kindly), guiding the couple in healthy growth of the relationship, and all without shame! Relationships are hard and we are here to help!

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?
