Pre-Marital & Marital Counseling
Marital Couples Therapy
​
Relationships require work and may face moments when everyday stressors cause strain and major sources of stress may cause threaten stability issues in the relationship.
As long as you and your partner are willing to be open and honest while addressing the issues at hand and participate in building a solution, and doing the individual and team work, most relationship issues are manageable, but when the air is thick and so many feelings are left unspoken, bad habits not addressed and pains go unhealed, the wellbeing and longevity of the relationship are in jeopardy as well as the family as a whole.
I am here to help educate, guide and help you remove negative behaviors that cause damage and replace them with solid healthy structured behaviors that you can use to rebuild your relationship. I will facilitate the uncovering of the patterns of emotions, thought, and action that are not working and offers healthy alternatives.
