Seeking More Connection in Your Marriage Relationship?

I have training in both Gottman and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to work with couples to develop deeper, more intimate relationships that we all desire and hope for when we say, “I do”.

I know it can feel scary to take the first step in seeking out marriage counselling as some of those “unspoken” topics we have learned to not bring up and just carry on as “usual” in our relationships can feel unsafe. However, not talking to our spouse about “unspoken” issues can lead to feeling disconnected with our spouse. The longing to feel that closeness we so desired when we first got married, can feel so lonely. Do you ever wonder how do we get to this place of disconnect and hurt so easily and quickly? Does it seem like the same pattern emerges every time you try to talk things out? You may find yourself in a heightened emotional state, or even reactive while your spouse is seeming shutdown, numb or withdrawing from you. Do you feel like your partner doesn’t hear you? Do you lie awake at night after a disagreement while your partner is sleeping soundly and think, “do they even care?”

My hope in working with you is to create a safe place to unpack the difficult topics that have come up in your marriage and create opportunities to foster that intimacy in your marriage you desire. To develop ways of communicating with one another, so you can feel heard and to understand your partner better. For you and your partner to feel deeply connected and known by one another and live the marriage you know you were meant to have.
