COUPLES, RELATIONSHIP, AND MARRIAGE COUNSELING

Couples Counseling in Lake Oswego and Portland, OR

You miss your partner — the person you fell in love with.  You used to have so much fun, you were so connected and in-sync and you’re not sure where it’s gone.  And maybe starting a family was a dream for both of you --  but as the family grew, things really got hectic.  You are trying to run the show, but you can’t get your partner on board.  And intimacy?  Where has that gone?  The disagreements have escalated and you’re feeling alone.  You don’t know where to turn. And if infidelity has occurred, you are probably feeling a lot of anger and panic.

I help couples in the throws of this thing called life.  I understand how challenging it can be.  With my training as a Marriage & Family Therapist and my gathered knowledge from experts such as John Gottman, Sue Johnson, and Terry Real, I know what works to help couples get back the connection and intimacy they need, whether it’s disconnection, fighting, affairs, or the brink of divorce.  I facilitate this process with patience, compassion, and support, as well as creating a true unbiased balance between each of you.

More intimacy and connection

Communication is key, and I help each of you to learn and implement new skills so that you understand what you need, successfully communicate it to your partner, and then learn more effective ways of listening that deepen that connection and intimacy. Through couple’s counseling, I help you repair past hurts, no matter how long it takes, and rebuild one step at a time.

This is not high school dating anymore.  This is REAL LIFE -- with the stress, pressures, and major struggles that life brings.   If you are willing to commit some time and energy to relationship therapy with me, you can transform the way you communicate, the way you trust, and the way you love.  Instead of loneliness and disconnection, you will have skills to handle whatever life throws your way – WITH your partner.  

Because two are stronger than one.
