Relationship Stress?

No relationship is perfect. We understand there will be some turbulence and a need to understand each other’s communication style, expectations, wants, and needs. We are here to help. We will lend an objective ear to your concerns and work on treating the relationship. We are not here to take sides, criticize, judge, or put people down. We want each person to be heard in the counseling session and to feel seen and understood.

We might utilize approaches from the Gottman model to help you understand the principles that help a relationship build a strong foundation, understand one another, turn towards each other instead of away, nurture fondness and admiration and help you work through conflict.

For those who are experiencing stress because of cultural, religious, or parental differences, we will work together to help one another understand those differences so they don’t pull you apart but bring you together.

Whether your relationship is interracial, polyamorous, heterosexual, or same sex, we will work with you in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way to help you feel safe in exploring your relationship dynamics.

We also want to stress that we do not have an agenda. We are not "invested" in the outcome. Meaning that we help you through the journey to decide the outcome of the relationship and we are not tied to whether or not the couple stays together or part ways.
