Pre-Commitment and Healthy Couple Support
"The self is a social creation, and it is defined,
maintained and transformed with reference to others."
- L. Alan Sroufe
If you are about to commit to living together or marriage there are probably some things you haven't discussed and clarified. Such as finances, parenting, socialization, career goals, etc.
Many of us did not witness healthy or functional relationships and the tales we are told through television and movies isn't reality.
I am trained in the Gottman approach and Prepare and Enrich. I combine my training in attachment theory with these approaches to help couples come to a better understanding of each other before the commitment of marriage or living together.
If you are already committed I work with healthy couples who are dealing with a specific issue or transition.
I will meet with you as a couple and then with each of you individually before coming back together as a couple. This way I can get to know each of you by listening to your personal narrative and your hopes for your relationship. I support each individual to feel safe and to express what they think and feel.
I can help you to:
-
Learn to communicate effectively
-
Understand one another in a deeper way
-
Help with the transitioning into "we" instead of "I"
I am LGBTQ+ friendly and have worked with straight, gay and polyamorous couples.
