Couples and Relationship Therapy

Do I matter? Are you there for me? Can I depend on you?

You were so in love. You felt so lucky to have found each other. You couldn’t imagine the affection and happiness you felt ever fading.

Now you fight all the time. Tiny spats escalate into shouting matches. Nothing you try makes a difference, and everything feels awful. It’s easier to walk away from the arguments than to try to unravel how you got there.

Or maybe you don’t know if it’s even possible to recover from the hurt and betrayal you’ve experienced.

You were created for closeness.

As humans, we’re exquisitely wired to form close and secure relationships. From birth, we instinctively reach out for someone to be with us.

But even though you have this innate ability to connect with your partner securely, something is preventing it.

Couples therapy offers you a safe, structured environment to sort through the underlying causes of your disconnection.

Together, we’ll uncover what’s in the way – so you can change directions and transform your relationship into what you’ve always wanted it to be.

Restoring closeness and healing emotional bonds.

Disappointments. Hurts. Stressful circumstances. Challenges like these can leave you and your partner feeling isolated and alone.

Whether you’re here because you’re experiencing too much conflict, trying to recover from infidelity, having difficulty in your intimacy, or don’t feel close enough to your partner, therapy can help.

In couples therapy, we work together to recognize negative patterns of interaction and create new experiences of connection that lead to restored feelings of trust, safety, and closeness.

Communication vs. Connection

Often, couples believe the solution is better communication when actually they’re excellent communicators. They have no problem expressing why they’re frustrated and what they want to see change.

What they need is communication that leads to connection. They need to feel accepted, valued, and loved.

Our work together…

During your sessions, we work together to create experiences of connection between you and your partner. The tender emotions that spontaneously rise to the surface inspire new hope that you can find your way back to each other.

As therapy progresses, we identify the negative patterns that prevent you from feeling understood, respected, valued, and loved.

This process enables you to become more emotionally available and responsive to each other, so you can share your feelings and needs in ways that create a deeper and more meaningful connection.

Help is just around the corner.

Realizing there’s a path to healing changes everything – many couples experience immense relief after just the first session.

Whether you’ve been struggling for a few months or many years, I’ll work with you to help you reforge your bond and make your relationship even stronger than before.
