Communicate for a better relationship

Do your conversations sound more like arguments? Do you find that you don’t have time to talk to your partner or that many important things remain unsaid?  If the answer is yes, you may need help. I can help you learn to communicate for a better relationship. Improving your communication can help you regain affection, intimacy, support, empathy, and more.

Is a difference in opinion causing you to argue more? Do you listen to your spouse sometimes and wonder where they are coming from? Living for a long time with impaired communication can cause couples to grow apart as each individual grows and develops in parallel instead of together. Couples counseling can help.

Improve communication for a better relationship

You can learn, or relearn, healthy communication skills. Your relationship may have been shaken up by poor communication, or poor communication may have been caused by challenges in your relationship, but you can learn to communicate for a better relationship.

In counseling, you will work towards solutions to strengthen communication in your relationship. We will examine the strengths of your relationship and use them to create insights into how to improve your marriage.

Counseling will bring you tools, insights, and hopes which you will be able to use to strengthen communication and develop a closer relationship. Each session is designed to focus on finding solutions so that you can feel tangible results.

Insights that we may focus on in couples counseling include:

• Fostering openness to each other

• Learning how to enjoy the present without bringing up old wounds

• Techniques to become a good listener

• Learning when to admit when you are wrong
