Couples Counseling

Most couples do not arrive because of one argument. They arrive because a pattern has been running for years and neither person can see their part in it clearly enough to change it.

What the work looks like

Sessions are structured and direct. Steve maps the cycle you are caught in, names what each of you contributes to it, and gives you concrete language and practice for interrupting it — in the room first, then at home.

The methods behind it

The Gottman Method supplies a forty-year research base on what predicts whether a relationship succeeds. Relational Life Therapy supplies the directness required to address the patterns underneath the conflict rather than negotiating endlessly at the surface.

Who this is for

Couples who want more than a referee. If you have already tried counseling that felt like taking turns talking, this will feel different from the first session.
