For couples who care about each other but keep getting pulled into the same painful conversations.
You may know what you want to say, yet the conversation quickly turns into defensiveness, criticism, withdrawal, escalation, or silence. Communication training helps couples slow the pattern down, understand what happens between them, and practice ways of speaking and listening that make connection more possible.
My work with couples draws on ideas and practices from the Gottman Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
This work may help you
- Recognize the cycle beneath recurring arguments
- Express concerns without blame or attack
- Listen without immediately defending or withdrawing
- Clarify needs, wishes, and boundaries
- Repair after conflict
- Build communication habits that support closeness and respect
Sessions are practical, structured, and tailored to the particular dynamics of your relationship. This service is offered online to couples located in Missouri.
