Couples Therapy
I want to help you feel more connected to your romantic partner and invigorated by your relationship, regardless of what stage of commitment you are both in. Whether you are dating, in the process of getting engaged or married, just had a baby, have ongoing concerns juggling your marriage and kids, or have been married for years and are struggling with disconnect, conflict, or infidelity, I will work with you together to deepen your mutual sense of satisfaction, connection, support, and passion. I work with all clients of all ages, gender identities, sexual orientations, and other affiliations. Click here to get started.
Premarital Counseling
Many issues rise to the surface when a relationship moves from dating to engagement. How do the two of you make choices? What are your life goals? What are your expectations about relationships with one another’s family and faith? How to do you work through disagreements? How do you cope with challenging situations? All of these are very important questions, which oftentimes get overlooked amidst stressful wedding planning. I will work together with you to strengthen your communication, identify areas of growth and current success, and establish a vital foundation for your shared life ahead.
New Parents
Whatever your conception and pregnancy process was like, all parents have some preconceived notions of what bringing a new baby home is going to be like. And oftentimes, the reality feels very different from what was planned. Due to sleep deprivation, not being able to take care of yourself or your partner while also taking care of a baby, and the process of learning a whole new skill set can turn anyone’s life upside down. Even the most resilient marriages are stressed when a new baby is brought home. The Gottman Institute reports that 69 percent of new parents experience conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings. I want to work with you to navigate this new process, and help you both learn how to stress less and be more content and joyful in your new family structure -- either before or after your new baby arrives.
