Pre-marital Counseling can help you build a secure foundation that will enable you to successfully navigate the inevitable challenges that arise in every marriage.
I utilize a variety of methods based on the needs and goals of each couple, drawing primarily from the following methods:
- Imago Relationship Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
EFT helps couples identify the ‘negative cycle’ of interactions that takes place in the relationship. Conflict is normal, but the negative cycle keeps us stuck and erodes emotional connection. Together we can identify and untangle this cycle and build new understanding and patterns that build intimacy. - Gottman Couples Therapy
