My name is Barbi (yes, that is my real name!) and I practice individual and couples relationship counseling in San Diego, CA. 

Secure and loving relationships are crucial to our well-being and success in life.
However, being in a relationship can sometimes be difficult. When the bad outweighs the good, you may think that there is something wrong with you or your partner. But there is nothing wrong with either of you! The problem is that you have not been taught the skills necessary to be in an intimate relationship. Couples counseling can teach you these important skills.
 
Many of us think that relationships should not take work. We are socialized to believe we will find our "soul mate" and can then sit back, do nothing, and live happily ever after. This is just not the case! We all need information on how to have great relationships and couples counseling provides this vital education including:                                                                
  • Reducing resentments & appreciating differences
  • De-escalating hostility in arguments
  • Learning non-blaming communication skills 
  • Creating more intimacy & increasing connection
  • Learning negotiation skills so both partners can get what they need
There is a lot you can do on your own to improve your relationships. If your loved is not willing to go to counseling, or if you are not currently in a relationship, I would be happy to work with you in individual therapy. Please see the section of my website on individual counseling for more information.
