The Craftsmanship of Relationships
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE MASTERS IN THE WORKPLACE yet feel so alone and distant? With fast-paced and performance living, we have had so little margin and energy to develop our relational lives. As a result, we have steady relationships in our workplace but can feel utterly unknown and distant in our relational lives where intimacy has slowly drifted away. What is needed is a new mastery of communication skills for you and your partner to renew and develop a lasting intimate relationship with one another.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH COUPLES AND INDIVIDUALS FOR OVER 25 YEARS - not only do I bring expertise in relational research as a clinical Ptr. Counselor, but more personally, I know firsthand the pressures and life cycles of marriage through the ups and downs of my own. A lasting and thriving marriage is not for the faint of heart! Marriage is one of the most courageous and rewarding works you and I will ever do. And the wisest amongst us recognize that we can not do this marriage thing alone. We need the professional guidance of another to help us navigate the fluidity of our ever-changing relationships.
WE WILL WORK WITH SURGICAL PRECISION in counseling by identifying where you are stuck in your marriage. You will receive coaching on becoming a master in the relational science of communication skills for increasing individual and couple satisfaction. And through direct intervention, we will intentionally change patterns that have hounded you for years.
SOME COUPLES REPORT RENEWING IMPROVEMENT to understand their needs better and move from being disconnected to intimately connected to their partner - a renewal of self and friendship with their spouse. And even some couples come back from the brink of divorce.
THIS RELATIONAL COACHING IS A LOT of LIKE JAZZ as it's imaginative, integrative, precise, and uniquely instructive, by which many couples and individuals account for meaningful and enduring transformation. And whether it's considering, renewing, or discerning the future of your marriage, let's design something custom crafted to your specific interpersonal goals.
I ADMIRE YOU FOR COURAGEOUSLY SEEKING ASSISTANCE in your marriage. Quite frankly, I love what I do! I've seen and heard just about everything under the sun. For this reason, I consider the opportunity to be invited to work with you as walking on sacred ground.
MY GOAL GUIDING YOU THROUGH COUNSELING is for you to fire me eventually! Yes, that's right. I want to help you become the best partner for yourself and your spouse. I want to give you the tools to break through the gridlocks, improve communication, understand patterns to navigate issues masterly, and ultimately help you get what you need from one another. Don't worry; we'll stick together for as long as it takes for you and your partner to become confident enough to apply the new tools to the new you and your ever-changing relational dynamics.
