Whether you are dating, engaged, or married your relationship may benefit from support as you seek to write a love story worth living.
My approach is grounded in careful attention to how your ability to recognize and regulate your emotional states are affecting the quality of your relationship. Empathy and lively discussion are used to bring into remembrance your strengths as a couple and support satisfaction with your partner.
Couples counseling at Bellingham Family Therapy is a judgment-free zone but it is not a value free zone. Invitations to responsibility for the effects of violence, flirting, addictions and co-dependency in intimate relationships have proven essential to many couples seeking to revive a relationship struggling for survival.
