Marriage Counseling

I believe that relationships are based primarily on emotional connections.  When two people decide to marry, that decision is most often based on feelings.  When a marriage gets in trouble, strong emotions are often seen as one or both spouses try to figure out how to make the relationship work.  These strong emotions often indicate how much the partner wants the marriage to move from frustration to fulfillment.  But how does a couple move from a relationship of daily disappointments to a relationship that meets each partner’s emotional needs?

In my approach to marriage therapy, I focus on the emotional connections.  In therapy, couples learn, through experiences in counseling sessions, how to relate to each other on an emotional level.  Research demonstrates that marriage therapy focused on emotional connections has the highest success rate of all marriage therapies.
