Couples Counseling

Have you thought to yourself "I want to feel better." but are unsure of how to get there? Many of us have experienced trauma in our lives. There are many types of trauma including sexual or emotional abuse, natural disasters, and car accidents. There is also another type of invisible trauma that many have experienced from their school, place of employment, friends, and even family that makes you feel bad about yourself. This type of trauma happens when the negative messages received from our environment turns into messages that we now tell ourselves like “I’m the problem or I’m worthless and no one will ever love me.” Through the use of EMDR, I will help you unload the trauma and negative messages that have continued to affect your life.
When you look at your partner do you wonder "How did we get here?" or "Does my trauma or the negative way I feel about myself affect this relationship?" At times have you felt overwhelmed with family as well as work obligations and not know how to lighten the load? I can help you find the answers as you work with your partner to reach your goal of a healthy relationship. This journey will include mood swings that range from irritability, frustration, to enlightenment or happiness. This emotional wellness journey will aid in changing negative generational family cycles that continue to impact your relationship.
Just remember "Behind every great relationship are difficult and uncomfortable conversations we rarely get to see. Great relationships don't just fall into our laps. They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds into healing." -Vienna Pharaon

Do you feel like you are in a cycle of repeating the same mistakes, the same arguments, and the same struggles? Did you ever pause for a moment to think why this may be happening to you? Does it frustrate you to the point where you feel like “this can’t go on anymore”; ”I have had it”; “can this even be fixed?”. Yet, you are here, because you still have a sliver of hope and long for lasting change. Through the haze of your pain, you still yearn for an everlasting shift because you believe it possible on some level. Good! It is possible.
The strain of or broken relationships and unmet personal, as well as professional goals, are apart of your journey which is your story. The story that caused you pain will now become the story of your triumph over your past interpersonal traumas. These traumas have tainted your life. Together though, with an array of different modalities for the treatment of trauma such as EMDR which is a therapy that can help you heal from past pain so that you can move forward in your life. I also like to work on you getting to know your inner child’s unmet needs, or learning about the different parts of yourself that protect you so much so you end up not letting the other parts of yourself to shine. Together we can change the narrative.
In your relationships - whether I see you as a couple or as an individual - we will work together for you to be able to recognize the deep emotional bond that connects one person to another and how to create a safe haven from the world, with security and a buffer against stress. This connection with another will create a secure base, allowing you and your partner to feel close when you are apart and out in the world.
