For Couples

To begin relational counseling with someone you care about means to intentionally focus time and energy on your specific connection as well as your respective, individual histories. 

The attachment styles and communication patterns we learn as children surface sneakily into our adult relationships. In counseling, we can begin to identify, understand, and empathize with these patterns.

As you sit and witnesses a partner's self-exploration, there occurs a parallel process... your partner, friend, sibling, or parent gives permission to be witnessed. This vulnerability beautifully deepens relational trust. 

To spend time in memories, or to work on communicating present emotions, can be easier with intentionality, tenderness, and safety. A counselor can provide gentle support through this delicate process.

The counseling room can serve as the practice grounds for taking up space; and then being seen, heard, and held.

What the patient needs is to make contact, to be able to touch others, to voice concerns openly, to be reminded that they are not only apart from but also a part of.
