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
