Couples Therapy
Let’s work together to help you and your partner become one another’s favorite cup of tea
“Being the “best you can be” is really only possible when you are deeply connected to another. Splendid isolation is for planets, not people.”
-Sue Johnson
Are you struggling to feel heard and understood in your relationship? Are boundaries with your in-laws and others something you’re desperately looking for, but are unsure of how to achieve them? Do you feel like you and your partner just aren’t clicking the way that you used to? Are you having a hard time seeing you and your partner on the same team? Do you feel like you’re living like friends or roommates and haven’t connected as partners? Perhaps you’re just looking for a relationship tune-up?
Relationships are tough! During couples therapy, both members of the couple will explore patterns, relational traumas, and family impact to support the couple in understanding the current state of their relationship.
How does it work?
Using evidence-based practices, I can help you identify and shift the communication patterns that you and your partner have been knowingly or unknowingly participating in. In couples work, I believe that issues develop systemically. Together, we will not work to decide who is at fault in the development of relationship difficulties and change that identified person. Rather we will explore the cycle that you get into as a couple and make changes in the ways that you each move toward tension or move away from tension to change the tone of the conversations. I will help you to learn how you can express your message in a way that your partner can hear it and invites them to respond in kind. We will work to gain the skills in hearing the fears and concerns that underlie many issues that couples find themselves in. Within the context of the relationship history, I will actively support you in gaining tools to rebuild your relationship, get to know each other better, and develop intimacy.
