Couples Therapy: 

You still love each other. Things just don't feel the way they used to.

Maybe you're having the same argument over and over.

​

One person feels unheard.

​

The other feels criticized.

​

One person reaches for connection while the other pulls away.

​

Eventually, both of you walk away feeling misunderstood.

​

Or maybe there wasn't one big moment that changed your relationship.

​

Life just got in the way.

​

Work. Kids. Finances. Stress. Responsibilities. Intimacy. Parenting.

​

Somewhere between everything that had to get done, the two of you stopped feeling like the couple you used to be.

​

You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to ask for help.

​

Couples therapy isn't about deciding who is right and who is wrong.

​

It's about understanding what keeps happening between you by helping us understand what's happening underneath our conflicts, so we can reconnect.

​

Together, we can work on:

  • Communication

  • Repeating conflict

  • Emotional disconnection

  • Rebuilding trust

  • Intimacy and connection

  • Parenting disagreements

  • Financial stress

  • Major life transitions

  • Feeling unheard or unappreciated

  • Understanding each other's needs

  • Repairing after hurt

  • Rebuilding friendship and connection

​

Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of love.

It's that you've stopped knowing how to reach each other.

​

Therapy can help slow down the patterns that keep taking over your conversations so both partners have an opportunity to feel heard and understood.

​

We'll work toward understanding not only what you're arguing about, but what's happening underneath the argument.

Because the argument about money may not only be about money.

​

The argument about the dishes may not really be about dishes.

​

And the fight about how much time you spend together may actually be about wanting to feel important to each other again.

​

Understanding what's underneath those moments can help you begin responding differently.

​

The goal isn't a perfect relationship.

​

It's a relationship where you can communicate, repair after difficult moments, understand one another better, and feel more connected.

​

If you still care about the relationship but don't know how to change what's happening, we can start there.
