The nature of trauma can create a broken connection from others and the world around them. People who have been traumatized tend to isolate. Once clients feel like they are getting their lives back or feel like they are living for the first time we can also help by providing relationship counseling. Many individuals recovering from personal trauma benefit from couples therapy to reconnect with their partners in new ways. People heal through loving and being loved as well as feeling safe and secure in their relationships. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples or EFT, which has a high success rate in helping partners reconnect in their relationship.
Research shows that, on average, couples wait six years from the time they recognize that they are having serious problems to the time that they seek help for their relationship.
I also provide couples counseling for partners who want to enhance a healthy relationship, jump-start a tired one, or save one that is slipping away. I will help you to reestablish an emotional connection with your partner by encouraging you to be more open, engaged and responsive. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy techniques we assist couples to feel safe and connected with each other.
