Tampa Couples Counseling

Marriage Counseling and Relationship Therapy in South Tampa

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

Is Your Relationship in Trouble?

When you are seeking couples counseling or marriage therapy, the key is finding a therapist who will make both you and your partner feel at ease. I know it can be intimidating to share personal and intimate details about your relationship with a complete stranger, but I will make you both feel comfortable very quickly. 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 Tampa marriage counselor and couples therapist, I specialize in working with couples in person at my South Tampa Office or through online couples counseling sessions. 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 we need to recognize 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 Heart of your Relationship

A strong relationship depends upon effective communication and conflict management. When we ignore conflicts and brush them under the rug, they fester and lead to 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 the success of your relationship.

Couples Counseling and Marriage Therapy Works

I know your situation feels unique and maybe even hopeless – it is easy to feel like you are stuck in a never-ending cycle of conflict. Find comfort in the fact that you are not alone. Many couples find themselves locked in very predictable cycles of conflict, where we say and do things we regret and often feel out of control. I will help you to identify, unravel, and break free from those negative interactional cycles and find a healthier way to communicate.

Build a Stronger Relationship

All couples can benefit from therapy or counseling to understand and resolve problems, conflict, and dissatisfaction. Even couples that do not have major conflicts can learn to understand each other better and find healthier ways to deal with problems. If you are interested, feel free to email me or call my office at (727) 537-0752. You are not alone – I am here to help you and your partner on your journey to happiness.
