Marriage and Couples Counseling

• Is your relationship in trouble?
• Are you experiencing either increasing conflict, or more distance and isolation?
• Do you long for the connection and love you used to feel in your marriage?
• Are you afraid you are headed for a break-up or divorce?

No matter what level of distress you are feeling, couples counseling or marriage counseling can help you move forward. 

I understand … it can be difficult to reach out for help. Perhaps you feel embarrassed or anxious about discussing problems in your relationship. Or you may be angry and can hardly talk to each other. Or perhaps you feel isolated or hopeless.  

But you will feel better if you explore couples or marriage counseling now, gain some skills, and begin to change the painful patterns you are experiencing, rather than delay, hoping that something will somehow change in your relationship. 

I offer emotional support for both of you, skills to help you communicate more effectively, help in untangling the patterns that you are struggling with, and insight and healing for deeper issues. 

Please call 303-415-3755 or email me to schedule an initial consultation. I offer private, confidential marriage and couples counseling sessions. Or check out my relationship skills seminars, here.

• untangle the dynamics of those annoying patterns and conflicts which keep happening over and over again (“infinite emotional allergy loops”)
• understand the roots of stuck or dysfunctional behaviors
  
  • often they come from family-of-origin patterns or previous relationships
  • sometimes they come from trauma, which can be addressed with EMDR
