Couples Counseling
“In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.”

Good Relationships Don't Just Happen.
There comes a point in every relationship where growth is necessary in order to keep the connection healthy. It’s no one’s fault that we don’t always know how to handle the misunderstandings and conflicts that come our way. Most of us weren’t taught these skills in school, or see this modeled by our parents.

The focus is on increasing effective communication and creating emotional safety, while both parties learn to support each other’s dreams and prioritize connection. The couple I’ve worked with is pleasantly surprised by how using these tools shifts the whole tone of the relationship.

40 Years of Research on Thousands of Couples....The Gottman Method...
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is the only method used at Satya Counseling & Yoga. It is based on ongoing research since the 1970s that can predict the likelihood of divorce with up to 90% accuracy. The Gottman Institute focuses on teaching the core skills that improve the quality and satisfaction scores of couples.
How I Work With Couples in Counseling
The Gottman Method allows you to get a professional assessment of your relationship, including your unique strengths and specific challenges, even before you dive into the rest of the work.
In the intensive format that I offer, the first session (3 hours) will consist of the following: you will participate in a complete couples interview, where we will explore the origin of the relationship and the best and most difficult times in your relationship, and you will have the opportunity to speak with me one on one to clarify any additional factors that are important to consider in doing the work.
Begin Addressing Your Emotional Needs With Couples Counseling
By the end of your second intensive session (2 hours), you will receive the results from your professional online assessment, understand the entire treatment plan for addressing your expressed needs, and begin practicing the skills that will demonstrate immediate benefits to the relationship. Contact me today.
