Description
Usually, when people hear "group," they immediately think they won't like it. A group isn't safe. "I don't want people knowing my business."
But isn't it lonely feeling like you are the only one who looks happy on the outside but is privately withering away?
Wouldn't it be nice to know that other smart, capable, competent men and women just like you were having the same circular conversations; the same disconnection and lack of intimacy; and the same fear that their relationship may not make it?
The group setting normalizes the pain that you are feeling so you know you are not alone and others are there to support and cheer for you as you make breakthroughs in your marriage.
Group Therapist
In my practice, Revive Relationship Therapy (Virginia) I specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling for people who feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in repeating relationship patterns. Is that you?
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, lack of confidence, and uncertainty. Regarding relationships, many say, “I can’t do this anymore,” after years of on-again-off-again relationships, arguing, resentment, loneliness, or feeling unseen - but they don't know what to do instead! I help pinpoint the core issues (relational diagnosis,) offer clear options and solutions, and teach you how to do things differently. We practice new skills and evaluate the results until you feel great about yourself and your ability to sustain meaningful relationships.
I work with people in all relationship stages—single and burned out by dating, in long-term relationships or marriages that feel dull or chaotic, navigating divorce or infidelity, or adjusting to loss. Many of my clients notice they keep repeating the same patterns in the pursuit of love and ask themselves, Why does this keep happening? Others find themselves replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or comparing their lives to others who seem to have the connection and peace they want.
My approach is compassionate, grounded, and direct. I believe meaningful relational change starts with the Self, which is why much of my work—even with couples—focuses on individual awareness, emotional maturity, and personal responsibility. When I see a pattern, I name it. When you’re ready, we work thoughtfully and patiently toward change.
I bring honesty and a strong ability to cut through noise—along with a well-developed “BS detector.”
