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

In the context of the experiential process couples are supported with a safe environment structured to encourage each partner to identify internal states (thoughts and feelings) of the immediate experience/ task that are influencing behavior patterns. Reflection on each person’s behavior patterns and how the patterns interact within the context of the experiential activity and process opens the door to behavioral change in the form of new routines, boundaries, and practices as well as developing emotional intelligence skills. The experiential process and techniques allow for an increase in and enhancement of the level of intimacy between the two individuals in the relationship.

I work with couples with the understanding that their relationship is the "client" in the room. However, it is important for each client to realize when they enter a counseling session, they bring with them all of their past/family of origin/hurts/pain/etc that make them who they are. So while focusing on the relationship, they must be aware of how they are contributing to the presenting problems. Communication and conflict resolution are at the core of the work I do with couples.

I love working with couples. I believe in the foundation of healthy relationships and understand that sometimes people are "stuck". I'm a certified Prepare and Enrich instructor that allows couples to discover who they are in order to work together as a team. This approach addresses those who are in relationships, engaged or struggling in their marriages.
