Marriage Counselor & Individual Therapy
Feel like you don’t know who you are?
Is your relationship with your partner not what it used to be?
Are you struggling with trying to connect with your kids?
You may think you are doomed. More often than not, it’s about your perception of the events that have occurred based on your own underlying issues along with a lack of positive connection. Unfortunately, as conflict worsens, people tend to reinforce their mistaken beliefs. If you bail now, you are likely to end up repeating the same behavior.
About 3/4 of my clients work on relatioship issue. What I see is that change happens when you focus on what you have control over. Love can stir up old hurts that you didn’t even know were there.
How is it your spouse can be such a supportive friend to others but not you? Because there’s more at risk, your words hurt deeper, and old beliefs of not being good enough or being a failure also hurt. Therefore, people get stuck in protective patterns that reinforce those beliefs rather than shifting them.
Effective couples therapy includes improving respect and understanding of each other, along with learning strategies to resolve conflict with healthy communication. Seeing a professional counselor helps create a safe space to explore shared goals, ways to connect, and improve emotional engagement and romance.
Don’t just survive – thrive in your relationship. Call 253.651.3752 to get started.
Since 1996, I’ve been an individual, couples, and family counselor in Tacoma. I have developed many effective approaches to working with a variety of people using traditional psychotherapy and EMDR.
It is important to find a counselor that is a good fit for you. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) serving the Tacoma area, I can support you in gaining clarity about where you would like to be in your life.
Like many people, you may feel so overwhelmed by current issues that you have lost sight of your inner most desires, what you are passionate about, or what motivates you. We will begin wherever you are to bring healing to the past and present, gain understanding of yourself and others, and bring more joy into your life.
I encourage you to read over my website and schedule an initial 90 minute meeting. If you decide within the first 15 minutes we are not a good match, you owe nothing. Otherwise, we’ll take time to carefully assess how to turn your concerns into goals and your pain into wisdom.
If you are ready to bring more joy into your life, call 253.651.3752 or email me to schedule an appointment in my Tacoma office.
Emails and voicemails are typically returned within 8 hours Monday through Friday.
