Marriage Counseling

All romantic relationships go through ups and downs, and they all take work, commitment, and a willingness to adapt and change as your partners grow and each of your needs change. But whether your relationship is just starting out or you’ve been together for years, there are steps you can take to build a healthy relationship.

We offer this service to people who are married or have partners, those living together, considering future commitments, and those who are currently dating. We also provide couples therapy to people who are no longer together but wish to resolve their issues in order to co-parent or to resume their relationship. Couples therapy gives couples the tools to communicate better, negotiate differences, problem solve and even argue in a healthier way.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist trained in the Gottman Approach and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I bring a deep understanding of the dynamics that underpin healthy relationships. My expertise in these evidence-based modalities allows me to help couples navigate their emotional landscapes, fostering effective communication and enhancing emotional connection.My compassionate approach ensures that each couple feels heard and supported as they work through their challenges together

Working with couples in non-monogamous and monogamous relationships is one of the most incredible experiences. I treat couples through the lens of Esther Perel's work as well as the Gottman's research.

Humans are social creatures and positive relationships are important for well being. How we navigate dynamics with others can be the difference between a happy, fulfilling life, or one that isn't. Maintaining personal boundaries, integrity, and staying true to what brings joy and meaning while relating to partners, lovers, friends, co-workers, and family can be tricky at times. I am a solution focused clinician that is competent, compassionate, and non judgmental.

Are you feeling disconnected with your partner and friends? Do you feel like you're on auto-pilot when you spend time with family and are unsure what your needs or feelings are? I've helped people just like you find more connection within themselves so that they can show up more authentically in their lives and be more present in their relationships. Using mindfulness based therapy we can help you tap into what your needs are and be able to communicate that more clearly to others.

As a trained and experienced couples therapist I help couples to grow and create a lasting and fulfilling relationship. Couples therapy can help you to improve your communication with one another, learn skills to navigate conflict more effectively, develop shared goals and a life direction, grow your passion for one another and for life, recover from an affair, navigate substance abuse, recover from trauma and much more.

Healthy relationships come in all shapes and sizes. As an LGBTQ, poly, and kink-affirming therapist--Jordan helps partners establish healthy communication, identify clear boundaries, and develop shared values. Whether you've been married 50 years, you're just starting out, or you're trying to end respectfully, she can provide a safe container to work what's important to you.

I am trained in Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy and the Gottman Method.

I have extensive expertise in marriage counseling, helping couples navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including communication skills training and conflict resolution strategies, to foster understanding and connection between partners. My approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration, creating a safe space for couples to express their feelings and explore underlying issues.

I have worked with committed partners in all types of family structures. The stage of the relationship and how the family formed is important but do not create barriers to addressing difficulties that arise within these systems. I am firmly grounded in EFT and use attachment styles to help partners understand what unmet needs are affecting their relationships, heal attachment wounds that create difficulty in finding safety with each other, and assist partners in communicating effectively.

Relationships can be difficult to navigate, especially in serious relationships or marriage. When issues occur, it's best to deal with issues in a safe, neutral space with someone you trust. I enjoy the process of helping couples to identify and heal from difficulties and move into a trusting relationship again.

Whether you are looking for Marriage Counseling or you just want to figure out how to relate to others in a more effective way, relationships thrive on the skills that we develop in counseling. From the very beginning of our work together, you begin to communicate in an inherently non-judgmental environment. This opens up a world of external processing that you might never have experienced before. However, the work does not end there.

Let’s face it, being in relationship is hard work. Before coming to see me, my clients have said that they felt disconnected in their relationship and wanted to experience the passion that they once had. It helps to have an objective third party, trained to see the nuance of your relationship and to challenge the patterns that keep you stuck in negative cycles that aren’t serving your relationship well.

When it comes to working with couples, I training from Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy and EFT to help couples navigate conflict and communication struggles that have caused relational wounds. I also believe all relationships (romantic and platonic) teach us a lot about ourselves, so when I work with individuals, I incorporate what can be learned from relationships both past and present.

Emotionally Focused approach

I have experience working with couples at all relationship stages. I holds certification in Gottman Level I and II couples therapy. The focus of couples sessions with me is increasing insight and empathy between partners as well as on developing day-to-day communication skills and healthy relationship habits.

I help couples dealing with a wide range of relationship issues - communication, boundaries, intimacy, parenting, and more. I use Gottman Method Couple's Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy to help couples move past being stuck and into open communication, honesty, and trust.

I strive to help couples and other relationship formations find their way back to one another. I push partners to connect more deeply with one another, often through helping them understand more about what they need and desire emotionally, sexually, financially, and intellectually. I often facilitate new experiences right in the therapy room, and ask for practice of learned skills in the moment.

I have worked with relationships for most of my career and am passionate about the work. I focus on increasing awareness for interactional patterns, power dynamics, impact of trauma, attachment issues, and improved communication.
