Couples who choose to engage in coaching services reach out to me when their current communication and emotional skills have stopped working. Just like minor home repairs can be handled on your own, a major renovation project would require a professional contractor! The same holds true for our most intimate relationships. I believe that many couples can problem solve and heal from minor trauma and life stressors. However, when there has been major trauma, life transitions, (birth, death, moves), addiction, or breach of trust issues, then a professional trained in couples will be your best approach.
- Attachment- based- I love teaching basic knowledge about how your early relationships most definitely impact your marriage, but don't worry, we won't focus on this for very long!
- Internal Family Systems approach- looking at techniques that help us heal our wounded parts and our manager parts
- Education! I love teaching the science behind arguments, stonewalling, and shut down experiences that get in our way of better communication
- Faith- based- I enjoy helping clients grow together in their faith and bring elements of their personal life such as prayer, devotion, and Bible reading into their marriage.
