Couples Therapy

The relationship is steering toward the rocks.

There she goes again, telling me I am not meeting her needs, criticizing everything I do, and stomping around the house. It’s been months since we’ve had sex, and I don’t even want to think about the last time we even had a passionate kiss.

You feel alone and lonely, but you power on as if all is well because that’s what you’ve always done.

Every day, it’s the same fight – why she can’t trust you, how the kids deserve better, and how you’re the problem. The dynamic in your household is hostile and cold, and it has been for a long time – but you didn’t want to deal with it.

You’re not even sure if you still feel love for this person because all you feel now is empty and irritable.

You could do nothing and go on like this forever, miserable, resentful, and angry, or ask for help. There is no shame in getting help. It’s a sign of strength, but staying stuck where you are IS a shame – and who wants that?

Therapy can help you steer in a more positive direction.

I help couples struggling with dysfunctional communication, bickering, and lack of connection. We will use Emotionally Focused Therapy to unpack underlying emotions. Couples learn to identify and articulate their needs for connection and intimacy, establish healthy boundaries, and heal from past and present hurts.

Through our work together, my clients learn to adopt coping strategies and new styles of communication that improve and enhance connection and intimacy. With this friendly and open approach, my clients can forgive and rediscover the love and trust in their relationship.

In couples therapy, we focus on the underlying emotions that cause reactivity, defensiveness, and stonewalling. We identify where a lack of connection grows out of hostility and snowballs into two people who are hurt, confused, and desperate for a resolution.

Let’s find the love you once had for each other.

The journey back to one another begins with breaking down the walls built between you, where you can reconnect and begin to embrace the love you shared at the beginning.

Let’s work together to help you overcome issues in your relationship that keep you apart.

Take the first step toward renewing your love.
