      <image:title>Therapy for Couples - Why Work With Me?</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Temecula and I providing marriage counseling in the cities of Murrieta and Temecula, CA. I’m not a “smile and nod therapist.” I ask the hard questions that encourage you and your partner to dig deep and find the root cause of your relationship challenges. I’ll encourage you and model tools, but I don’t just tell you what you want to hear. In order for couples counseling to work, both partners need to be equally invested and ready to hear hard things. While our sessions are important, the real work is done outside of therapy. You and your partner will learn to work together to overcome what’s holding you back from having the relationship you want or used to have. Your relationship depends on both of you trying your best and paying attention to what we discuss in sessions. Although it’s up to you to do the work, I’ll be there beside you guiding you every step of the way. I may ask tough questions and be honest and direct, but I’m also empathetic and patient. I care about my clients and work hard to help them meet their relationship goals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Couples - Why Temecula Marriage Counseling?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Marriage counseling could be what’s standing between fighting all the time and laughing together again. In marriage counseling in Temecula, CA, you and your partner will be equally seen and heard by a nonjudgmental licensed therapist. I’ll help you and your partner find each other again. One of the areas that couples counseling can help with is sex and intimacy. Physical intimacy doesn’t just have to be sexual. Maybe you and your partner have stopped holding hands or touching one another. This is a form of physical intimacy that can go by the wayside when couples are struggling. Often I see couples who are sexually frustrated. They can’t agree with how often they want to have sex. For some, the desire to have sex with their partner is gone. We want to figure out how to rekindle that romantic flame and increase intimacy. Of course, intimacy isn’t just physical. Intimacy in relationships happens when both partners are open to communication. Sharing personal stories, feelings, and fears can be a form of intimacy. Another form of intimacy is sharing positive experiences that bring you closer together.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Therapy for Couples - Marriage Counseling for New Parents</image:title>
      <image:caption>Having a child can take a toll on your relationship with your partner. It’s no longer just the two of you anymore. Some couples struggle with feeling like equal partners in the relationship after having a child.  One partner might feel as if they are taking on all of the responsibilities at home while the other feels left out of the relationship and lonely. I help couples figure out how to manage their relationships after having a baby.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Are you in a relationship where the fights don’t seem to end?  Do you know that you and your partner need a change and want to avoid divorce?  Are you feeling lost and alone in the relationship?  Do you and your partner struggle to communicate? I help couples who are tired of fighting, but know that they do not want to divorce. In couples counseling, we’ll build trust, repair resentments, and explore patterns of behavior that no longer serve you or your relationship. If it seems like you’ve tried everything on your own and nothing is working, it’s probably time to see a therapist. I’m a therapist who can help guide you and your partner towards healing.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you and your partner are new parents, you might struggle with managing responsibilities in the home. It can feel like one partner is doing all the work and the other partner doesn’t know how to help. You might struggle to manage a relationship that feels uneven – maybe one partner is more attentive to the child while the other feels neglected. In couples counseling, I often work with men in relationships who struggle to identify their feelings. They can’t verbalize where their frustration is coming from. The other partner might have a difficult time getting him to listen or communicate, so both partners end up feeling exhausted from having the same arguments over and over. I am a Temecula therapist here for you and your partner to help you work through your relationship challenges. Together we’ll get to the root of the problem and find ways to mend your relationship and get you to the point where you feel love and trust again. If you want to begin your journey towards a loving, communicative relationship, schedule with me today for a free 30-minute consultation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you’re tired of being tired, that means that something has to change. Maybe you feel pulled in many different directions. Perhaps you see other women “handling it all” and you don’t know how they’re getting it all done. This could make you feel inadequate.  I’m here to help you navigate these murky waters of being a wife, a mother, and a woman who has her own life aside from home and work.  Often the women I work with deal with similar issues that include: Feeling romantically unfulfilled Feeling like their spouse doesn’t listen Not having energy, time, or a desire to have sex Struggling with body image Managing confidence and self-esteem, particularly after having a baby Worrying that their partner isn’t attracted to them anymore If you live in the area and can relate to any or all of the above, a Temecula therapist who works with women with these particular challenges, like me, could be a great therapeutic fit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I work with women who feel like people will judge them, who feel like they’re competing with those “Pinterest moms” out there, and who struggle with mom guilt. When you go through a major life change, like having a child, you might begin to feel undervalued at home. Maybe you feel that you have to be responsible for everything and that your partner isn’t helping. You need help figuring out how to balance all the different roles you have to fulfill. That’s what I’m here for, to help you navigate life as a woman pulled in many different directions. If you’re ready to take steps towards overcoming stress, overwhelm, and the challenges you face as a woman in individual Temecula therapy, schedule a free consultation with me today.</image:caption>
