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.
