Couples Counseling in Seattle There is something to the old adage, "love conquers all". Research shows that couples with well functioning relationships are less likely to get physical illnesses like cancer and heart disease, have stronger immune systems, and increased ability to handle stress and anxiety. Long term committed relationships are hard work, worth the effort, and provide a safe haven in a complex and uncertain world.
Unfortunately couples wait approximately six years before getting help from a professional after their first signs of distress. The great news is that with proper care, courage, and hard work relationships can be repaired, revitalized, and returned to being satisfying again. I am happy to assist you in this effort toward deeper connection, understanding, and mutual support.
Couples counseling can help you:
*Learn the delicate art of balancing your needs for autonomy and connection
*Have improved communication, feel heard and understood
*Learn how to transform differences into the spice that keeps your relationship vibrant & healthy
*Have - and meet! - higher expectations of your relationship
*Develop rituals of closeness & connection
*Learn how to avoid the most common and corrosive relationship habits
*Secure long term satisfaction in your relationship
Whether you have been together 2 months or 20 years, calling me might be the first step toward a closer, more fulfilling, and beautiful relationship. My training in marriage therapy and couples counseling as well as my background in family systems & gestalt therapy will help you develop the necessary skills for enjoying a more gratifying and rewarding relationship.
It's never too late, or too early, to explore, express, and secure your love for each other.
