Great Couples Counseling in Marvin, NC. Therapy to heal relationships.

I love working with couples! As a trained Marriage and Family Therapist (with even more training in couples therapy), I understand the ins and outs of what makes relationships successful. It can be incredibly difficult to be in a relationship where you don't feel heard or understood by your partner. I am here to help you learn how to communicate and get back to a deeper connection in your relationship. I use research proven methods that are very practical and easy to use both in my office and at home, so you will start to feel the positive effects of therapy right away. Take the next step to making your relationship what you want it to be and give me a call.

I love to see thriving couple relationships. You want to have a thriving relationship, but there has been something that has driven you apart, injured the relationship, or kept you from connecting the way you desire. I can provide practical skills for changing, and also help you grow in connecting and healing in safe and healthy ways. I help you discover the relational patterns that are creating problems for your relationship, and new patterns that help you thrive and heal. I journey with you in coming together in meaningful interaction and shape each other and make something beautiful.

In our first session we will take a look at what brings you to therapy and what you would like to see different. To further understand the dynamics of your relationship, you will take a relationship inventory that will assess the strengths and the areas of growth in your relationship. Based on your story and the results of the assessment, we will set the goals for your therapy that will guide us in the process of rebuilding and improving your relationship with your significant other. We will use exercises from Gottman Method to help you become friends again, increase fondness and admiration for each other, and learn healthy communication and conflict resolution skills.

Couples come in a variety of 'flavors and colors', so to speak, and every couple is a unique situation. I bring 40 years of experience to helping couples heal their relationship. Couple situations usually have conflict and communication roadblocks as a big, if not, central component. I specialize in communication problems and conflict/anger resolution, offering help in both conventional communication approaches and an alternative approach that frequently is successful where conventional approaches fail. My Un-Talk TM Therapy approach also has the advantage of helping with an uncooperative partner. All other current approaches require the participation of both parties.

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?

Much can be left unsaid in a loving relationship. And, over the many months and years, this lack of communication on what can be important aspects of a relationship can cause problems and even break-up. No relationship is beyond repair. The desire to want to repair hurt feelings and ineffective communication is the biggest hurdle. Two loving adults who want their relationship to be successful can indeed be just that.
