ABOUT

You may be worried where your relationship is heading because you are fighting and arguing about the same things over and over or maybe you hardly talk anymore. 

Problems often start slowly, with one or two little things. Maybe your partner upsets you but you don’t say anything or you avoid discussing what’s bothering you for fear of making waves. You don’t want to focus on the negative, but that’s all you are noticing in your relationship.

Then one, or both of you, start keeping score. You start to see the patterns. This often leads to feelings of “I don’t feel connected” all the way to “I don’t know you anymore.” While you long for the relationship you once had, getting there is an entirely different matter.

Sometimes when you move to another country you may feel confused, frustrated or stressed out and need to learn how to work together as a team. 

Maybe it is happening after being unappreciated, unheard and not listened to or fighting about the same issues over and over. 

How Marriage & Relationship Counseling Works

What can you expect when seeking answers from a couples therapist?

Couples counseling is NOT complaining about your partner and replaying the same old argument with a therapist in the room.

Couples counseling is about solving the problems and learning new ways. Couples counseling is discovering new tools and styles of communicating that will ideally bring you closer and get both of your needs met. 

Couples counseling will help you feel emotionally safe and secure again, maybe even for the first time in your relationship.

Is Your Marriage In Crisis? I am trained in a number of different modalities that help couples regain the love and connection in their relationship.

I'm a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist

As a Gottman couples therapist, you will learn the most up-to-date research on what makes a successful relationship. The Gottman approach is a scientific-evidence based method filled with tools and skills.

Using the Gottman Method, you will learn how to:

1. Build appreciation, admiration and fondness

2. Reduce conflict 

3. Improve communication

4. Increase intimacy

5. Build Trust

I also am a Certified (Candidate) PACT,  Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy.

As a PACT couples therapist, you will learn how to be best friends with your partner, feel safe with them to be "you" and be in the foxhole together. 

Using the PACT, you will learn how to:

1. Protect and care for each other.

2. Creat a fair and balanced relationship.

3. Be each other's everything. 

4. Work as a team to create a foundation of safety, security and love to thrive.

5. Build deeper love and intimacy in your relationship.

Do You or Your Partner Have ADHD?

Being a married couple isn’t always easy. Add ADHD to the mix and couples often feel like getting their needs met and their relationship on track is impossible. I’m happy to tell you, it’s not. If you, your spouse, or both of you have ADHD it can take a toll on your marriage. Couples who learn how to navigate ADHD stressors create happy, loving partnerships. But, the ADHD impact on marriage can be long-felt and deep if you don’t address it. 

I presented at the International ADHD Conference and I'm a ADHD-CCSP (Certified Clinical Service Provider).

Couples Intensives/Retreats

Just like traditional couples counseling, intensive couples retreats are between 3-6 hours with exercises, role plays and skills that create and build connection, appreciation, communication and trust. I provide a 30 minute free zoom consultation to discuss your needs to create the most effective couples therapy.

Reach out to Lisa for a 20-30 minute free private consultation today.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT)Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the family's relationships and communication patterns. It is based on the theory that strong and secure attachments between family members are essential for emotional health and well-being. The goal of ABFT is to identify any problems in family relationships, enable family members to become more attuned to each other’s needs, and build a secure bond between them. It also helps family members to practice healthy communication skills, learn effective problem-solving strategies, and build trust within the family.

Body-Mind PsychotherapyBody-mind psychotherapy is an integrative approach to psychological treatment that draws from both psychotherapeutic and somatic/body-based approaches. It emphasizes the interconnection between physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of being. This approach seeks to help individuals explore how physical sensations, emotions, thoughts and beliefs influence their behavior and well-being. Through this exploration, individuals can gain insight into how the body and mind interact to create patterns of behavior, and how those patterns can be changed to promote healing and wellness.

Emotion-Focused TherapyEmotion-focused therapy (EFT) is a type of psychotherapy that is based on the idea that emotions play a key role in a person’s mental health. EFT focuses on helping people to identify, accept, and manage their emotions in a healthy and productive way. The goal of EFT is to help people identify and express their emotions, understand how those emotions impact their behavior, and learn how to manage their emotions in a way that is adaptive and healthy. EFT is a research-based approach to psychotherapy that has been found to be effective in helping people manage a variety of mental health conditions. It has been used successfully in the treatment of individuals, couples, and families, as well as with groups. EFT is particularly beneficial for people who struggle with emotional regulation, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

Family Attachment Narrative TherapyFamily Attachment Narrative Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals to develop secure, healthy attachments to their family members. This type of therapy focuses on the narrative, or stories, that individuals tell about their family relationships and how they view themselves in those relationships. Through this therapeutic process, individuals are encouraged to explore their past experiences with family members, gain a better understanding of their current family dynamics, and develop healthier, more secure attachments to their family members. Therapists using this approach believe that the caregivers are the most crucial component in the healing process, and therefore incorporate caregiver narratives as an important part of the therapeutic process in addressing and repairing the unmet needs of the client.
This approach to treatment is primarily designed for children, teens, and young adults who are experiencing issues related to identity, disrupted attachment, and early childhood trauma.

Gottman MethodThe Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that is designed to help couples strengthen their relationships and resolve conflicts. This method is based upon decades of research on thousands of couples and utilizes an approach that is both structured and collaborative. The method is designed to help couples increase respect, affection, and closeness, break through and resolve conflict, generate greater understanding, and to keep conflict discussions calm. It emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, constructive communication, and creating a safe environment for couples to talk and work through their issues. During sessions, couples work on skills such as active listening and expressing needs and feelings effectively. Couples are also given tools to identify and work through conflicts by using problem-solving techniques and developing strategies to manage emotions and reduce stress.

Guided ImageryGuided imagery is a form of visualization used for relaxation and healing. It uses the power of the imagination to create positive changes in a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is also used to reduce stress and anxiety, cope with physical and emotional pain, increase motivation, confidence, and self-esteem, and to improve focus and concentration. During a guided imagery session, the practitioner will guide the client through a series of visualizations, using words and descriptions to help them create mental images in their mind. These visualizations can take many forms, such as a comforting place from the past or the client’s future goals.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that uses the metaphor of an internal family of parts to help people gain awareness of how different parts of themselves can interact in healthy and unhealthy ways. IFS encourages people to become curious about their different parts, with the goal of helping them gain access to their true Self or core. Through this process, people can learn to recognize and care for the different parts of themselves, as well as develop compassionate understanding for the origins of their parts. A key principle of IFS is that each part within the person has its own positive intention and is trying to protect the person in some way. By understanding the positive intention of each part, the practitioner and client can work together to help the parts feel heard and understood, and to find more adaptive ways of meeting their needs. IFS has been found to be an effective treatment for a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues.

PsychodramaPsychodrama is a form of experiential therapy that can help people gain insight into their own behavior and develop healthier coping strategies. It involves using role-playing and group dynamics to explore and act out different scenarios in a safe setting. Psychodrama is grounded in principles of creativity and spontaneity. It evokes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses in those in treatment and helps them achieve new perspectives through better understanding of their roles in life and the ways that they interact with others.
