Couples Counseling

Relationship stress often leaves us feeling like there is something wrong with us.

We have all experienced relationship stress at some point in our lives. Often times, the harder we try to break the negative patterns, the deeper and more entrenched they become.

Sometimes even creating emotional traumas and increased distress.

We're often left feeling...

Hopeless Frustrated Angry Alone

And the relationship becomes more stressed with...

Disconnection An unsatisfying sex life Arguments Avoidance Isolation Contemplation of staying or leaving

We try to do things differently. We try to change these patterns.

It makes sense that when we are stuck in the negative cycles- it is almost impossible to break free from them.

Around and around we go, doing the best we can, but not actually reaching the safe, comfortable, loving, playful, intimate relationship for which we long.

You are not alone.

What to expect...

Whether you are new to couples counseling or a seasoned therapy aficionado, meeting a new therapist is navigating new territory. Much like going on a blind date, there are a lot of unknowns.

That's why every client will meet with Angela virtually for a 20 minute consultation call.

This gives me an opportunity to make sure I feel strongly that I can be of help.

It gives you the opportunity to see if I feel like a good fit.

Ongoing Couples Counseling

Beginning

Once we decide mutually to work together, you will be given access to your client portal in my electronic medical record system. Complete the consents and intake prior to your first appointment.

Assessment and Intake

You will receive a reminder of your appointment and will be expected to cancel with more than a 48 hours notice if you cannot make the appointment.

More importantly, I will begin to get to know you. I want to know about your relationship history, your family of origin, how you argue, how you repair, what keeps you together, and when you started feeling disconnect.

Ongoing Therapy

We will meet weekly or every other week to gain traction towards your goals. I will be working with you on the process of HOW you communicate, helping you to learn new skills and apply different tools that you might not even know you have available to you.

Once your goals are met, we will begin to terminate couples counseling. Although couples counseling is not always easy, I will stick with you through the good, the bad, and the difficult. The end result will be more clarity, more calm, more ease, and better communication in whatever path your future holds.

Investment in your happiness

There is a cost to all we do in our world. Therapy, of course, is no different.

Your investment in your happiness means you need someone who will get the job done. It's hard to know if a therapist will meet you where you are at, help you accomplish your goals, and provide for you an increased access to your overall happiness and satisfaction.

Couples and Relationship Counseling can be a harder guarantee as the path towards increased happiness often means going through the hard patches and reconstructing paradigms that no longer serve you, your partner, or the relationship.

I get it.

You're worth it.

You can have the relationship for which you are longing.
