Work on your marriage in Couples Therapy
My Psychotherapy informed Couples Coaching
The work kicks off with a personalized in depth assessment.
This is an opportunity for me to dive in your history so that I know exactly what you are bringing to the table. Marriage is a recipe created by two individuals coming together. I like to know what ingredients you've added to the mix. We'll cover things like family relationships/attachment, traumatic experiences, prior relationships and anything else that's relevant.
The beauty in this part of the work is that it uncovers the reasons for why you've been misinterpreting each other, why you get stuck in the same discussions that end in an argument or the silent treatment, and what needs to be shifted, re-contextualized and/or healed so that you can transform the way you relate to each other.
Then we'll deep dive with two solo sessions before we jump into the first joint session.
The deeper I know you as an individual, the better equipped I am to understand and help you change the patterns in your relationship. My psychotherapy training comes in handy here, as I'm able to see themes and patterns that are in your way.
These will become part of the work early on so that you can get some relief right away and feel confident in your ability to change your marriage to be what you desire.
And lastly we'll create the game plan and outline the roadmap.
This is where we'll decide what we are going to work on and how we are going to work on it. You'll be relieved to know that there's a plan in place, as well as someone to help you manage it and carry it out.
Everything you navigate, you'll be doing with me by your side. From the action steps/focal work to the unlimited messaging access in between, you are not going through it without the level of support you need. This is what creates and sustains the momentum needed for couples to be successful. And if you're nervous, that's okay. Everything is paced to minimize anxiety and overwhelm.
