Dr. John Gottman of the famous Seattle Love Lab has identified numerous biological, social and emotional benefits of a healthy marriage. Sadly, we also know that marital hostility harms partners and children in ways that can shorten the life span, increase the chance of illness and lead to emotional problems including depression and aggression. Dr. Sue Johnson, noted founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy has developed the science of attachment by expanding it to adults and pioneering paths to deeper connection and intimacy in partners. These workshops synthesize the work of these giants and several others including Dr. Stan Tatkin. Sign up for the whole series (at a 20% discount) or just those that fit your specific challenges!
Learning about better communication with Kristen was like having a lightbulb come on. Kristen taught hands-on skills that I hadn’t learned anywhere else. They helped me to both listen to my husband much better and to say what I wanted to say in a much more productive and helpful way.- Maria O.
I took Kristen Morefield's 8-session marriage workshop with my wife two times. Both times we learned tools that help us communicate better, understand each other better, and have a stronger, healthier relationship. - H. K.
One of the reasons I enjoyed the partnership series is that it created a safe space for me and my wife to learn that we were both sincerely trying to be and do better for our relationship.

Often times we would be arguing about something on the way to your workshop and after leaving we would be more productive in working through whatever the issue was.

Dr. John Gottman discovered that happy couples have a special ability to navigate conflict that does not include giving in or blissfully agreeing on everything. Instead, they turn toward each other when conversations get heated. I call this "fighting like a team." Come learn how to identify when it's time to call a time out, how to establish rules of play, and tackle tough challenges without losing your partner in the process.
