Therapy for Couples
“Happily ever after simply means that both partners are known, valued, accepted for who they are and who they are becoming.” – John Gottman
Why Couples Counseling?
Every relationship faces challenges. Whether you’re struggling with communication, rebuilding trust, or adjusting to life changes, couples counseling can provide the tools and space to reconnect.
You don’t have to wait until things fall apart — counseling helps build stronger foundations, even when things seem okay.
Tailored Support for Your Relationship
No two relationships are the same so my approach will be based on your specific needs and goals, your individual personalities, and your past experiences. Regardless of whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or going through a major life transition, our work will be based on you both as a couple and as individuals. I incorporate years of experience along with the work of experts in the field of couples counseling to help you grow as a couple. While your relationship needs and goals are unique, there are common themes that I discuss with most couples during our sessions. Some of the areas we’ll explore include:
- Communication Skills: Learn to truly listen to each other without becoming defensive or hurt. Many recurring conflicts stem from unresolved wounds from past relationships. Ironically, it’s often in our closest relationship that these old triggers resurface. Through counseling, you’ll learn how to support each other in healing from the interpersonal pain of the past.
- Conflict Resolution: Learn techniques to manage disagreements without harm. Learn to stay connected even while disagreeing.
- Trust and Intimacy Building: Rebuild emotional and physical closeness. Yes, it is possible to recreate the spark you had when first together.
- Life Transitions: Navigate challenges like parenting, career changes, or loss.
- Premarital Counseling: Strengthen your bond before taking the next step.
What to Expect in a Session
Counseling sessions are a safe and non-judgmental space. In our first session, we’ll discuss your relationship history, your current challenges, and what you want to achieve by coming to therapy together.
I will provide a safe space to talk about where you both are in your relationship, as well as where you want to be.
Since you are coming to make changes in your relationship, I will leave you with homework so you can get started right away!
