Couples Therapy

Neither of you want to admit it, but…

You have not connected in a while. You and your partner haven’t seen eye-to-eye in a very long time.

The constant bickering has overtaken your home life.

And let’s not talk about intimacy!

Your communication is terrible, and you’re just trying to pretend everything is okay for the kids or appearances. Or maybe you’re just afraid to be alone.

You know that change is needed.

All the doubts, fears, and guilt… only you know that.

Your partner doesn’t see everything going on inside of you – all the resentment… all the times you’ve felt taken for granted.

This is causing you so much anxiety that you’re not concentrating at work, and you’re not performing at your best. How could you with everything going on at home?

So often, the pain is a result of what’s NOT being said. Plus, it’s easier to point the finger rather than to face our emotions.

Sometimes, we fear vulnerability so much to the point where we become aggressive without even noticing it. For example, I once helped a couple where each partner was scared to lose the other – so much so that they were attacking each other. When they finally reconnected, it was incredibly satisfying.

Helping you resolve conflicts… effectively.

I will provide a safe environment where you can feel comfortable being vulnerable.

Space where you don’t have to hold back or hide what you’re truly feeling.

I’ll facilitate the improvement in the way you talk to each other.

I will meet with you and your partner weekly. I’ll be present and talking to you, but, for the most part, you’ll be looking at your partner while you talk to each other.

I use methods that will open lines of healthy communication, and we will practice those in sessions. We’ll move from my observing how you interact with each other naturally and then progress toward me providing feedback to the two of you.

I’ll help you regain and boost your emotional intimacy.

I will help you be aware of your emotions while your partner listens and is assisted in providing the emotional support that is needed.

Some of my techniques involve “emotional co-regulation,” which will help you accept and sustain each other’s emotions.

I will focus on increasing intimacy and get you and your partner closer than you ever imagined possible.

Reconnecting with your partner is one of the most wonderful things that can happen in a relationship. By connecting each other’s emotions and needs, you can support each other and, therefore, increase intimacy.

If I notice any issues being caused by personal struggles rather than the dynamics of the relationship (e.g., personal anxiety or fears that manifest as anger and argumentativeness), I might suggest that we address those issues in individual therapy. Sometimes we blame our problems on the outside because we have difficulty to accept our shortcomings. Once those issues have been resolved, we can then resume work as a couple.

Don’t let your fear of failing make you “fail” in your relationship.

You can have the relationship you have wanted for a long time – one based on love, respect, trust, and communication.
