“When we started therapy, I wasn’t even sure I still loved my husband; we seemed to be caught in a cycle of blame and rejection. He was always critical and I was always angry. Carolyn helped us talk through the hardest stuff! We’ve been able to repair and reconnect in a way that I never thought was possible. It hasn’t been easy but it has definitely been worth it.”
– P.W.
Love can be confusing and relationships complicated. We fall in love and imagine a life full of possibility. We feel enthusiastic, and our lives become energized. Somehow though, we later find ourselves unhappy and exhausted, angry and disconnected from the one we love. “What did I see in this person? Is it possible to feel the love I once felt? Can this be repaired?”
I create a safe environment to help couples navigate difficult times and rekindle connection, and intimacy, if desired. You will better understand each other and practice skills needed to encourage healthy habits that build mutual support and connection.
One powerful therapy technique that I use as a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist is the Imago Dialogue, which works to transform negative interactions into positive communication. The Imago Dialogue can help you to:
Become a strong team
Reconnect, or feel more deeply connected
Identify and change old beliefs
Foster compassion between partners
Feel heard, understood, and respected
Bring back the passion in your relationship
I will coach you to express yourselves in an honest and sensible way that deepens your connection and creates a more satisfying, loving relationship.
