About me

Couples struggle with stress and anxiety related to parenting, step-parenting, career, homelife, intimacy, and communication. The lack of or incorrect communication skills can affect the relationship and release adverse outcomes such as separation or divorce. In Couples Therapy, learning the right communication skills and relationship education can bring success to the partnership. Couples often react emotionally and defensively, making it hard to stay in a relationship. Trauma, loss, or difficultly with family-of-origin issues can hinder a relationship. Working together as a couple can improve relationships by learning and practicing skills in each area of the relationship, and it starts with developing trust and acceptance for times in the past. In our couples counseling sessions, we will learn skills to improve emotional regulation, deepen conversations, increase emotional knowledge, and communication to reduce conflict and build up a positive connection. Build-in holistic support in the relationship and learn to heal and love again. I look forward to working with you. Dr. Lourdes Araujo
