Individual Counseling, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Marriage Counseling and Premarital Counseling for Improved Relationship Results:
Subtle or dramatic challenges surrounding our relationship with our spouse, self, partner, children, parent or others close to us, can affect many other areas of our lives, leaving us feeling depressed, angry, hopeless, “less than,” and confused as to which way is up and which way is right.
In my practice, attachment theory provides a strong basis for your and my identification of what is missing or misperceived in your most important relationships. Attachment theory tells us that threats to relationship security can arise from prolonged absence, breakdowns in communication, emotional unavailability, or signs of rejection or abandonment. The result can be unwanted and unexpected anger, sadness, defensiveness and feelings of isolation and despair.
I also use Dr. John Gottman’s extensive research into relationship success and failure to identify your specific relationship red flags and tools for repair. In the relationship that matters the most to you—be it with a spouse, partner, child, parent, friend–ask yourself if you are feeling any of the following within the relationship:
- Contempt
- Criticism
- Sarcasm
- Stonewalling
If you are experiencing one or more of the above, now is the time to take action. Each emotion can often represent a marker of a stress fracture in your relationship. The good news is your relationship can be repaired. You have the answers inside you and together we can identify them. Know that there is hope for you and your relationships. I am confident I can help you TODAY.
