Additionally, the program includes practices to enhance admiration and appreciation between partners, which can strengthen their relationship. This program is specifically designed for couples who are in a stable and healthy relationship and are looking to manage their anxiety collaboratively.

You can take the anxiety management sessions as an individual or as a couple. The format is still one-on-one but semi-structured, with a beginning, middle, and end date.
Anxiety can have a profound impact on relationships, causing tension, misunderstandings, and even distance. That's why it's important for couples to work together to manage anxiety and build a stronger, more resilient relationship.
The Couples Anxiety Management sessions provides a supportive and educational environment where you and your partner can learn about anxiety, its causes, and how to manage it effectively together. You will:
-
Learn coping mechanisms: You and your partner will learn practical and effective coping mechanisms that can help you manage anxiety as a team.
-
Practice mindfulness self compassion techniques: By learning mindfulness techniques together, you will learn how to be present in the moment and reduce anxiety in your relationship.
-
Build a stronger bond: By working together to manage anxiety, you will build a stronger bond and improve communication in your relationship.
I believe in taking a holistic approach to anxiety management for couples. In the Couples Anxiety Management Class, you and your partner will not only learn practical coping mechanisms, but learn how to navigate the physical impact of anxiety for an overall more resilient impact for your health and your relationship.
My hope is to support and guide you both on your journey towards healing and growth.

I provide premarital or precommitment psychoeducational couple enrichment programs comprising four distinct types aimed at strengthening your relationship. These structured sessions are designed to enhance the connection between couples by exploring conflict management, communication, and the development of awareness of both one's partner and oneself. Based on the book "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work," in addition to prepare/enrich and couples institute, these sessions are conducted privately, similar to traditional couple's therapy.
The psychoeducational counseling approach focuses on imparting knowledge and skills, while simultaneously offering support and accountability to practice the skills learned. Implementing new skills can be challenging, and to ease this process, I offer personal feedback and support throughout the program. The psychoeducational format is also less intimidating, providing a comfortable start for couples who may not yet be ready for traditional therapy.
Moreover, even after the program is over, I continue to offer counseling to ensure that the skills learned are continually practiced and strengthened.
Research reveals that happy couples have lower rates of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, and their children are more likely to experience the positive effects. By investing in your relationship now, you can create a healthier and happier future for both you and your family.
