Couples Counseling

Couples Counseling becomes a safe place where both you and your partner can find and rest in the deeper connection of the love you both share. Healthy committed relationships and marriages are about balancing connection & intimacy with independence & autonomy. Ideally, each influences and helps the other. Couples therapy helps to achieve this balance in your relationship.

Mindfulness-based

Using mindfulness with counseling, habitual feelings and thoughts become the focus of awareness. Mindfulness, when applied skillfully, can help slow down the process of therapy to a pace that feels safe, lowering noise and increasing inner sensitivity and insight potential.

Family Therapy

Family systems sees your presented marital, family or even child\\'s problems as the outgrowth of the underlying relationship dynamics.

Parenting

When relationships within a family are strained, parents are powerful leaders to bring their family to a place of harmony. Parents will be the leader in this process because adult brains is more developed, more adept and stronger. You have greater skills (even if sometimes you don’t feel like it).

Family Conflict

When addressing family conflict, it can be helpful to get most or all family members for a session to work toward a common goal.

In your first session, your counselor will assess your particular family situation and then formulate a plan to meet the goals.
