The Best Marriage Counseling in 77515: Angleton, TX. Restore Your Relationship.

All relationships thrive in a setting of trust, respect, and love. Over time, established patterns can either progress or undermine the emotional and physical safety in relationships. I work to identify those unhealthy patterns, allowing a positive, healing shift.

I have focused on adult relationship issues since 1987, and my primary specialty is marriage counseling. I take a positive, pragmatic, solutions-fucused approach to helping you enjoy bringing out the best in each other as you fulfill your relationship goals.

I have received extensive training in facilitating therapy for couples and families. These sessions allow each participant to express their emotions and explore how they play into the relationship patterns we all have in place with those who mean a great deal to us.

Often time’s people think they will meet Mr. or Mrs. Right and that they will live happily ever after. This fairy tale myth is far from reality. What most of us don’t learn is that good relationships take time and hard work.

I follow the empirically based Gottman Method which encompasses 40 years of research on couples and marriage. I help couples in slowing down their interactions of communication to reveal patterns that may be contributing or contaminating to their relationship success.

As a trained and experienced Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with my clients to establish new ways of both talking with and hearing one another. I find that when we feel unheard, it is then hard to listen closely to another. Call me and let me help you be heard.

Getting into a relationship is easy; staying in it takes hard work. Any long-term relationship is worth fighting for! Learning how to reconnect emotionally and to discover the enthusiasm you once had for the relationship often takes the help of an objective outsider.

Relationships can be tough! Sometimes, despite the best of intentions, we hurt each other or drift apart. It's common to get stuck in patterns of blaming each other, feeling like you are the only one trying. We work with couples facing a variety of issues.

We are active and directive with Couples and Individuals. We are hoping to publish in 2014 a book entitled: Worth Fighting For: Self-Help for Couples. We have been married 28 years. Ken's doctorate is from UT-Austin-1975, Karen's from University of Houston 1995.

I enjoy working with couples for pre-marital & couples counseling. Drawing from my diverse background, coupled with my legal training and mediation experience, I bring valuable insights into communication, negotiation, and problem-solving strategies.

I help couples work through resentments and get to the point where they can really see each other and be seen by providing a safe and compassionate place to explore problems, solutions and learn new skills. We want our partner to be there for us when we need them.

As a member of the National Registry of Family Friendly Therapists, I am committed to helping you have a happy and successful marriage. My marriage philosophy is to help persuade you and your partner to think of your marriage as a durable, solid, commitment.

I help couples revitalize their relationship by offering effective solutions for improved communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution.
