Was Valentine’s Day the day you hoped for? Was it met with love, romance and connection or do you feel sad, lonely and disconnected from your spouse?

Don’t let another day go by living in sadness, loneliness and disconnection. Stop waiting to address the struggles in your relationship. It is not beneficial to your marriage to sweep feelings under the rug. It is not beneficial to ignore the elephant in the room. Waiting only gives time for resentment to grow and for negative patterns to flourish.

Take the first step to start healing. Now is the time for you and your spouse to get some relationship tools. Reach out and see how marriage counseling can help your relationship.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is a beautiful reminder for couples to celebrate the love and commitment that is in their marriage or relationship. Take time to cherish each other, reflect on your journey, and create new memories together. Wishing you a day filled with love, romance, and connection!

Today is also about celebrating love in all different forms. Along with romantic love, there is the love for a child, love for a parent, love for a sibling, love for other family members, love for friends, and love for yourself. Take a moment to appreciate all of the special people in your life and let them know how much they mean to you. Love is always worth celebrating!

You do not need to be a marriage detective and figure out what your spouse needs. Ask, “What do you need from me today? Is there something I can do to make your day easier? How can I support you?

Marriage is about teamwork and being there for each other. Get curious and find out what your spouse needs so you can show up in the way they need you to show up.

What Are the Benefits of Online Couples or Individual Relationship Counseling?

It is convenient.
Find a private space in your home, at your work, or in your car. Then sit at your computer, or grab your laptop, tablet or cell phone and click on the link that brings you into a secure, confidential platform. The convenience of online counseling enables you to be able to have a session even if you had a hectic day.

It is comfortable.
You are in the comfort of your own personal space. You can sit with your favorite pillows on your comfortable couch as we talk.

It is effective.
Research has shown that online counseling can be just as effective for most cases, as face-to-face therapy. With me as your therapist, I will bring the same education, expertise, techniques, tools, calming presence, non-judgmental stance and sense of humor to your online session that I would if we met in the office.

Anytime is a good time to cuddle especially during the chilly weather we are experiencing in Florida and in many parts of the United States. Cuddling isn’t just cozy, it’s connecting. Physical touch helps reduce stress, increase feelings of safety and strengthen emotional bonds between partners. A few extra moments of cuddling can go a long way in nurturing your relationship. So grab a blanket, hold your spouse a little closer, and let the connection warm you both.

Eight years ago, I had an amazing opportunity! I had the pleasure to listen to Dr. John Gottman, a world renowned therapist, speak to an audience of hundreds in Boca Raton, Florida. His detailed talk on the Relationship Sound House was incredible for me as I use that tool with my couples. So to hear the creator of the tool, describe and explain it in detail was memorable! I am incredibly grateful to have had such an inspiring experience in 2018, with the added bonus that Dr. John Gottman signed my copy of his book, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work”. Then two months later, in Washington DC, I attended a conference and had the priceless privilege to hear Dr. John and Dr. Julie Gottman speak. My highlight of the conference was meeting both of them and having a couple of minutes to talk to them. The Gottman Method Couples Therapy has been transforming for my life professionally and personally.
