Couples Therapy

For couples who are ready to heal past wounds, move beyond resentment, and reconnect to one another.

Your relationship is stuck on autopilot.

The only things you seem to talk about lately are what’s for dinner, who’s picking up the kids, and what’s on the family calendar. You no longer connect on a deeper level, and it’s led to feelings of resentment, loneliness, and an unsettling uncertainty about whether this relationship can really work or not.

Your partner and you might be:

  • Struggling with communication and increased conflict

  • Experiencing difficulty opening up emotionally

  • Dealing with the fallout from infidelity

  • Growing apart due to day-to-day responsibilities

  • Having doubts about the future of your relationship

Is couples therapy right for you?

I get it: no one expects to end up in couples therapy. Something that started so wonderfully is now struggling, and that can be a difficult thing to come to terms with. Ultimately, therapy is a good fit for any couple in which both partners are interested in exploring what’s going on and what needs to change. While it’s very normal to feel a little nervous or hesitant, the only way couples counseling will be truly effective is if both of you are invested in this process.

How it works

It’s possible to restore and reconnect. Couples therapy can help you get there.

We’ll start by looking at the challenges each of you is noticing in your relationship and define a set of shared goals for this process. This will help us determine which areas of your relationship we will focus on in our sessions. Through role playing, homework assignment, and skill-building, you’ll learn how to break unhelpful patterns, implement new strategies for connection and communication, and become more in tune with both yours and your partner’s needs.

While couples therapy is ultimately about you as a couple, it’s also important to acknowledge each of you as separate and unique individuals, too. As part of this process, we’ll also explore how your individual experiences are impacting your dynamic.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about couples therapy

  • I do. In premarital counseling, we’ll look at each of your expectations about your life and relationship and work on mitigating the possible challenges that may come with those. This means exploring things like money and finances, sex & intimacy, child-rearing, religion, and more.

  • Our work together is tailored to your relationship’s specific needs. I’m here to help with things like:

    • Money & finances

    • Blended families

    • Sex & intimacy

    • Communication

    • Cultural or religious differences

    • Infidelity

    • Divorce

    • Parenting

    • Job & career stress

  • Yes, most definitely. Often, it's only if you're willing to put down the resentment that has grown over the years. As you start to accept their partner (and yourself) as imperfect humans, you’ll find you can recapture the things that brought you together in the first place.
