Tampa Couples Counseling

South Tampa Marriage Counseling and Relationship Therapy

Couples Counseling strengthens relationships, builds intimacy, and increases happiness.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and I hold a Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT). As a counselor and therapist, I specialize in working with couples at my South Tampa Office. I employ Gottman Method Couples Therapy to address conflict, increase intimacy, and improve empathy and understanding in the relationship. At the core of it all, there are unmet needs we staunchly defend, but what needs to be recognized is that where there is Love, there is no right and no wrong – there are only crossed wires. If we truly love each other, we are simply fighting to be heard, understood, appreciated, and loved.

Communication is the Key to Success

The strength of a relationship largely depends upon communication and effective management of conflict. We run into problems when we don’t address conflict – and instead brush it under the rug – resulting in a built-up list of resentments. Ineffective conflict dialog is the strongest predictor of breakup or divorce, so improving communication and reducing conflict are vital to a couple’s success.

Couples and Marriage Counseling Works

I know your situation feels unique and maybe even hopeless, but find comfort in the fact that couples become locked in very predictable patterns of conflict I can help you unravel. In our intimate relationships, we get stuck in negative interactional cycles where we say and do things we regret, and we often feel out of control. Anger causes regretful words and actions.

Build a Stronger Relationship

All couples can benefit from therapy or counseling to understand and resolve problems, conflict, and dissatisfaction. Even couples with normal levels of conflict can build stronger relationships along with healthier ways to cope with issues that arise in the future.
