Couple/Marital Therapy

The greatest gift parents can give their children is a strong marriage. The health of your marriage determines the personal security of your children and enables them to have healthy relationships with others, including their future spouse.

Marital therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself, how you may be unknowingly contributing to a negative cycle, and how to interact in a more affirming manner with one another.

Although research has shown that finances are the primary case of divorce, the root cause is often about couple's growing apart emotionally, focusing on the wrongs of the other, and not knowing how to manage anger effectively.

In addition to re-establishing the emotional attachment with your spouse, the focus of marital therapy is also learning how to respond differently during times of conflict. Research in the past few years has shown the impact of how we respond physiologically when in conflict affects whether arguments escalate or diffuse. By learning better conflict resolution skills based on one's own individual physiological response, couples can actually discuss and resolve areas of gridlock instead of using blame, accusations, or avoidance.
