If you are struggling in your relationship, wanting to heal from past hurts, or wanting to build on an already strong relationship, it might be time for couples therapy.

Every relationship faces their issues—communication, trust, different expectations and goals, lack of emotional intimacy, unresolved conflicts, sexual issues, and financial disagreements are among them. Many people are able to navigate some of these struggles within their relationship or with the help of family and friends.

If you are feeling like you are having the same conversation over and over again, or that things are escalating, and you are not able to resolve things on your own it might be time to seek out couples therapy.

Often there are lots of different reasons why we struggle in relationship, childhood trauma, anxious/avoidant attachment, behavioral or mental health of one or both partners, life transitions, grief/loss can complicate our intimate relationships. You don’t need to be in crisis to seek help, but lots of times that’s where we start.

In couples therapy, we look at the ways in which these struggles impact your current relationship in this present moment.

My approach to couples counseling is a non-blaming approach where I will listen and collaborate with you both to come up with a plan that addresses exactly what you are struggling with. We will work on strengthening your communication skills and I will provide feedback on how you can work better as a team.

With the models of Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Emotion Focused therapy, and somatic approaches you will learn how to clarify your values as a couple, regulation skills, and how to support one another.
