Relationship Counseling

At some point in time, every relationship faces challenges that test the partnership. Arguing without resolution; feeling disconnected; and building resentment can take a toll on the relationship. At Seeds of Empowerment, I offer a safe, productive, and unbiased space for you and your partner(s) to explore the barriers and challenges unique to your relationship.

In relationship counseling you will learn how to:

  • Identify the challenges in your relationship

  • Gain insight into dysfunctional patterns that cause stress in the relationship

  • Learn communication tools to help build effective communication

  • Practice conflict resolution strategies to resolve conflict and decrease defensive responses

  • Learn to empathize with one another and restore trust and passion

Common reasons people start Relationship Counseling:

  • Wanting to learn how to connect on a deeper level
