Great Couples Counseling in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Therapy to heal relationships.

We write about it, sing and dream about it: relationships. However, with a 60% divorce rate and an even higher emotional divorce statistic tells us the real story: marriages are in trouble. Many couples live in a dungeon of isolation and hurt that can be incredibly painful yet so often the advice given is: "stick it out". While we strongly affirm the importance of the marriage commitment, we also affirm that there can be more, much more. There are answers and there is healing for broken relationships: Grace-oriented, Biblical counseling is the answer.

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?

I very much enjoy working with couples, and see couples counseling as a very active, dynamic process. After quickly helping a couple to identify their particular problem areas, we begin to work together toward finding solutions, improving communication patterns, building intimacy, and learning what our partner needs to feel loved, I often encourage couples with "homework assignments", in order to reinforce new information learned within the session.

Couples present into therapy together for a variety of reasons; loss of intimate connection, moving through some sort of family transition, desire to communicate more effectively, pre-marital and pre-engaged couples, marriage enrichment, marriage in crisis, recovering from infidelity, adapting to the empty nest, conflict resolution, exploring forgiveness & reconciliation, investigating intimacy issues (Emotional, Spiritual & Physical), pursuing oneness, recovering adventure, overcoming anger & reactivity, demystifying power struggles, growing spiritually, and becoming a healing influence in one another's life.

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. These techniques help get to the heart of the matter to increase relationship satisfaction and heal emotional injuries that may have occurred throughout the relationship or as a result of previous trauma. Individual therapy for each partner is also recommended as best practice for helping each person to work through their personal traumas.

Unfortunately many of us are not taught how to build lasting and meaningful relationships. Often communication fails and we are left feeling unloved and alone. Fortunately, we can all learn how to communicate in a loving and empowered way. Schedule a session so I can coach you in getting the love you want. I specialize in traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, dating, decrement therapy, and divorce therapy. With my training in Gottman Couples Therapy, Imago, and EFT I have a plethora of wisdom to share with you. I provide education on attachment styles, love languages, sex language, and more.

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.

While it’s not easy work, there is hope. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you fight for your marriage.

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.

All couples fight. This is a fact. But how you fight and how you grow and learn about one another is what sets divorced couples apart from the ones who enjoy long, happy relationships and marriages. Utilizing the best research-backed methods including Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method, our couple counselors can help you through the darkest times and will lead you through how to reconnect, restore trust and intimacy, and heal from pain and trauma.
