I can effectively help
- couples who are contemplating marriage,
- couples who have been married for a while and feel that they are stuck in a cycle they can't seem to get out of,
- couples who are trying to figure out how to be parents and still keep their couplehood alive,
- and couples who are getting reacquainted with each other after the kids leave the house.
Some couples get an extra amount of stress in their relationship when, for example, they develp postpartum depression after a much anticipated birth of a child, or couples that come from different backgrounds: interfaith and intercultural couples.
One point these couples have in common: they love each other, and want to be happy together. They just no longer know how.
A major component of our work together is learning to communicate well, even while under stress, so that couples can understand where they each come from, before they can move to finding a solution to their problems.
They first need to feel that they're playing on the same team, before they can relax and try to reach a solution together. How one acts and communicates under stress, will determine the quality of one's relationship, therefore we also focus on self-soothing and differentiation skills.
Once couples learn those skills, they start connecting with each other more positively, and their realtionship changes.
They're out of the old cycle.
