Couples Therapy

Unfortunately, this is a VERY common issue…

“We’ve had a complete breakdown in communication.”

Our relationships are often a union of opposites. In most relationships I know, family backgrounds and life philosophies are different. So, it’s no surprise that conflicts arise.

Financial issues and unrealistic expectations are chief among them. Often, one partner wants to brush it under the rug and hopes it passes, while the other wants to come at it head-on.

Couples counseling provides a safe, supportive space to work through your issues and improve your connection.

Here’s another big one…

“We’re not co-parenting well.”

Whether together or separated, co-parenting issues can wreak havoc in a relationship. Agreements over parenting styles cause communication breakdowns that can frequently lead to divorce. It doesn’t have to be this way.

If you don’t co-parent well, you’ll have conflicts over visitation schedules, financial disagreements, and the ugly situation where the child is weaponized to attack one parent or the other.

Parents are responsible for rearing children who become well-adjusted adults. This requires clear boundaries and open communication.

Let’s address the differences in your values, beliefs, and expectations to keep the well-being of your children front and center.

Something else that might be on your mind…

“We’ve had intimacy issues throughout the marriage.”

Intimacy goes beyond physical affection. It encompasses emotional closeness, vulnerability, and a deep understanding of each other.

In counseling, couples can explore their individual needs and desires… as well as barriers that may be preventing them from experiencing true intimacy.

As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), I have helpful exercises and discussions that deepen your emotional connection and create a more fulfilling and intimate relationship.

When trust has been broken…

“We can’t seem to get back to where we were before the affair.”

Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. When it’s compromised, it can lead to a breakdown in communication and emotional distance.

One of the key benefits of couples counseling is the opportunity to build and rebuild trust. You’ll learn open and honest communication, how to forgive and let go of past hurts, and new strategies for building trust moving forward.

Let’s explore what eroded your trust and address underlying issues so you can’t rebuild it.

Couples therapy builds a better relationship for BOTH of you.

Improving communication, parenting, trust, intimacy, and conflict management will make your relationship more satisfying.

In this neutral space, you and your partner can express your thoughts and feelings, and I’ll offer you guidance and tools to navigate challenges and promote growth.

I’m here to help you create a transformational relationship.

A transformational relationship goes beyond traditional roles and expectations. It’s a relationship where both partners actively work toward personal growth and self-improvement, and the relationship itself becomes a catalyst for transformation and personal development.

In a transformational relationship, both partners are committed to helping each other become the best versions of themselves. Through open communication, shared goals and values, and a willingness to adapt and change, your relationship can be transformational!

You’re here for a reason.

You’re here because you love your partner and want to fortify your relationship so you can thrive together for years to come.

When you come to me, I won’t take sides. I’ll listen to you both without judgment, showing you a way through the challenges so that a stronger relationship can emerge.

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a proactive step toward building a healthier and happier partnership.
