Counseling for Couples and Families

           Alexandra Goerl Rickeman, LCMFT

Counselor in Westminster, MD providing marriage counseling and family therapy

...helping you stop fighting and start talking...

Alexandra is a special kind of counselor who helps couples communicate.

 

 

 

You can have the relationship you want

I am a special kind of counselor who specializes in helping couples communicate. 

 

“I just can’t live like this anymore.”

“The trust is gone.”

“I’m so sick of fighting!”

“This is not what I want.”

“I want to fix it, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible.”

 

These feelings are so common when your relationship is not working the way you had wanted or hoped.

 

You and your partner may be fighting or giving each other the silent treatment.  One or both of you may have threatened divorce.  Perhaps there is suspicion of an affair.  Things have not been how you want for awhile, and now you are ready for change.

 

Whether you are looking to improve your relationship or go your separate ways peacefully, there is good news...

You can stop fighting and start talking.

Communication can help.

 

Helping Couples Communicate

I help couples find new ways to communicate. 

Communication is an essential  ingredient for a great relationship. I help couples communicate in order to:

1. repair relationship hurts and mistakes

2. reduce negative interactions

3. rekindle loving feelings

 

Common Issues

Couples usually need the most help communicating about the issues of :

1. money

2. intimacy

3. parenting (and relationship changes after kids)

4. how negative thoughts and feelings are shared

 

Money and intimacy are the top two reasons for relationship dissatisfaction and divorce, according to research.  The joys and challenges of raising children also undoubtedly affect a couple relationship.   Without being able to express negative thoughts and feelings appropriately, things cannot change.

 

You can create the relationship

you’ve been wanting.

IMAGINE…

...being able to speak, listen, and get somewhere with the conversation.

….rebuilding your trust in each other and repairing past mistakes.

...feeling like your relationship is fun and loving again. 

...working effectively as partners and parents.

...having the relationship you have been wanting.

 

 It is possible and I can help you get there.

 

*Making the step to come to counseling can be uncomfortable for many people.  Although it may be difficult at first, the process soon becomes very rewarding.  It is hard work, but it is worth it when you know more, communicate better, and feel calmer.
