Have you and your spouse hit a wall in your marriage and feel you need to do some couples therapy in Santa Rosa, CA? Then you have come to the right place! As a married couple ourselves, with a professional background in life coaching, we are very skilled at teaching our clients how to take the necessary steps to recapture the love they once felt in their marriage, restore their friendship and truly work as a team. According to a recent survey, when couples who have stayed married for 20, 30, 40 years or more were asked how they stayed together that long, the number one answer they gave was, “We worked at it!” If you feel your marriage has become an unhappy power struggle, let us help you do the work you need to do to start over and walk out of your past.

With our approach, we will provide you with new 1) awareness, 2) tools and 3) skills, so you can slow down, stop reacting, and start reflecting, both as individuals and as a couple. We will show you how to see the difference between “topics,” where you argue and fight, and “issues,” where you actually understand each other’s point of view, and what the fight is really about. We will teach you how to meet in the middle, so that rather than fighting things out when you don’t agree, you will be able to negotiate your way out of your disagreements.

Instead of tearing each other down, you will be able to “call each other out” in a good way by being honest and steady, and not  judgmental or mean. Taking these kinds of steps and others will allow you to restore the respect, communication, cooperation, trust and intimacy you and your relationship deserve. Instead of feeling like your relationship is withering or dying, you will know what to do to keep growing.
