Heal, Connect and Love Again
Helping Couples Create Stronger and Happier Relationships is Our Mission.
Famous relationship researcher John Gottman discovered, “the average couple waits six years before seeking help for marital problems—by that time, many issues are deeply entrenched.” No matter how long you’ve been struggling to get along, or feel close to your partner, we are here to help you repair, restore and reconnect.
Nobody gets married expecting to feel lonely, unappreciated or misunderstood by their spouse.
Nobody wakes up in the morning looking forward to getting into an argument with their partner.
Nobody sets out to have an affair that devastates a relationship.
Nobody aims to have a sexless marriage that has long ago lost its spark.
So why are relationships so hard when none of us is going looking for relationship difficulties? The truth is, all couples can experience (and most of us do) develop what we call the negative cycle. Left uninterrupted, this negative cycle starts to become the habit as we develop typical ways of reacting to each other.
The good news is, no matter how long you’ve been struggling, you can overcome these relationship difficulties.
Using research-based Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, rooted in Attachment Science, we help couples from Aurora, CO learn to:
- Discover new ways to communicate that build understanding and closeness
- Exit your stuck patterns of communication so you can feel connected
- Make sense of and learn how to avoid common couple traps like defensiveness, shutting down, the silent treatment, criticism and blame
- Find your way to sexual joy, navigate sexual desire differences, or heal from injuries such as affairs
Healing for Individuals and Families too
Similar to couples, we can each have a negative cycle with ourselves: low self-esteem, trauma responses from long ago showing up currently, numbing out, unhelpful habits like overeating or working too much, etc. We help you understand and work with how your relationship experiences from childhood to today are impacting you.
Just like couples, families also can have negative patterns of communication and everyone stuck in family roles that may not serve them. We help you learn to get along, heal from family dynamics that don’t feel good, and begin to re-write the story of how your family is together.
