Couples Counseling Orange County, Corona & Riverside | Marriage Counseling | Christian
If you are having difficulty connecting, always arguing, or simply feel like you've grown apart, couples counseling can be a helpful first step. My approaches include both the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, depending on which is a better fit.
If you are a Christian couple, I offer marriage counseling that integrates faith with evidence-based couples therapy interventions.
My goals are yours; sometimes that means working toward improving your relationship, and sometimes that means figuring out how to navigate through new waters. All couples are welcome!
Presenting Concerns
• Communication difficulties
• Adjustment to a new role
• Sexual intimacy dissatisfaction
• Conflict, bickering & arguing
• Lack of emotional connection
• Emotional and/or sexual affair
Treatment Approach
My approach includes the Gottman Method, a 30+ year, evidence-based treatment focusing on positive communication, more connection, relationship longevity, and healthy conflict resolution. Where helpful, I also use Emotionally Focused Therapy interventions.
If you are a couple of faith, I love working with Christian couples in helping them love one another unconditionally using Biblical values.
I also pay close attention to each partner's love language, childhood attachment to caregivers, and communication patterns learned from parental figures.
In all cases where a medical illness or cancer is present, the effects of that medical diagnosis are factored into my couples' treatment plans.
Duration & Pricing
Sessions run 60-90 minutes, which allows for both partners to express their concerns and process emotions.
Pricing is on a sliding scale based on net household income and is affordable for most income levels.
I do not accept insurance as payment, but I can provide you with a monthly super bill for filing for reimbursement from your insurance provider.
