THERAPY FOR couples 

Improve your communication and how you feel about each other.

Oftentimes couples come to therapy when they think that something is missing in their relationship. They may not feel not fulfilled, or perhaps they feel they don’t understand one another due to communication difficulties. Individuals may feel disappointed or disillusioned with their partner or their relationship for a variety of reasons.

Trust issues are typically the most commonly shared problems in relationship difficulties. Couples may also decide to come to therapy when they experience a significant life event or transition. For example, having a baby changes the dynamic of the relationship. In many cases, a young family transitions from a couple to a family where the baby may become the center of attention.

These types of issues may be small and manageable at first. Over time, if left unaddressed, this may lead partners to feel disconnected from one another, fail to get their needs met, and may also feel intimately disconnected, due to a lack of regular sexual interactions. Each partner comes out with their own subjective narrative about what is happening in the relationship. Then, one partner often tries to “fix” the problem by pushing the other partner away or punishing them by being resentful and passive. If the other partner is doing the same, a vicious cycle starts which leads both partners to disconnect further.

Whether you are married, dating or contemplating divorce, the structured approach I offer in my practice can help. Relationships are very complex and my 20+ years of expertise are truly invaluable.

Maybe someone has had an affair, or you are disagreeing more than usual. Perhaps the pressures of raising children and achieving high levels of success have taken a toll on your connection. Maybe your intimacy is fleeting and you are looking to get back the spark. I promise you, there is nothing I haven't seen or heard. You are not alone and nothing is hopeless.  

By meeting with me in a safe, caring, and confidential setting, you will both learn new tools to empower the health of your relationship. During our time together, you will feel heard, listened to, and understood. I truly believe all couples need a safe space to discuss important issues, and even disagree, so that they can learn new communication skills.

In the beginning of our time working together, I will carefully identify the root causes of your discomfort. We then move through the steps of healing together, setting clear goals and working each session to reach them. 

I am dedicated to getting you back to living your best lives together.
