Couples Therapy

Communication Problems

Many couples start the therapy process feeling stuck in repeated arguments that never get resolved. Feeling understood and making compromises doesn’t happen without connection.

You may find your relationship in conflict patterns that leave you and your partner exhausted. Resentments and loneliness often intensify during this time.

These patterns can leave a relationship stuck and the connection weak. Be encouraged, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Trust Issues

When a relationship isn’t at its best, trust feels difficult to maintain.

You may be experiencing new betrayals from infidelity or dishonesty. This is common in struggling relationships and often adds to the confusion about what to do next.

Stress from unrepaired trust and misunderstood emotions can be overwhelming and make anyone doubt the future of their relationship.

Preparing for Marriage

Pre-marital work can be a forward-thinking investment in yourself.

The process supports identifying your areas of strength as well as vulnerabilities. Subsequently, strengths are reinforced and vulnerabilities are addressed.

Both partners are led in establishing confidence in what healthy communication looks like.

How I Help

I work with couples across all types and stages of relationships.

As your therapist, I hold a holistic framework that considers the body and mind, your lifetime relationships, and present unique circumstances.

Together, we find where each partner gets stuck during conflict and move through those stuck points. In the end, the effective pattern that easily resolves conflict becomes the new normal.

Healthy Communication

In therapy, you and your partner will learn new ways to communicate that end recurring arguments. I’ll teach both sides how to replace old habits with new techniques that create and sustain connection.

Through this process, couples are supported in expressing unacknowledged emotions and working to find new ways to resolve them.

Together, we will develop confidence in handling a wide range of emotions and allow each partner to be fully themselves in the relationship. Ultimately, we’ll create a partnership that consistenly meets each person’s needs.

Trust Your Partner Again

Therapy can help you and your partner move on from trust injuries, big or small.

We’ll understand the deep impacts of trust and betrayal injuries. The impact to identity will be understood and the process to repair will be clear.

Mistrust and resentment will be replaced with support and understanding.

The Online Couples Therapy Process

My approach is an integration of Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy and The Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy.

Clients can expect the initial sessions to be dedicated to assessment, establishing therapy goals, and identifying the emotions that drive negative communication patterns.

Each partner will be guided in accessing their most significant emotions as well as their personal role in the problematic cycles.

Lastly, as a couple, both partners are guided in meeting one another’s emotional needs in new ways, as a team, and making these new tools habitual.

Benefits of Couples Therapy

My clients report finding confidence, calm, and felt partnership after couples therapy.

Couples learn new ways to develop a style of relating that allows for the repair of emotional injuries and a sense of being fully themselves with one another.

You and your partner will leave with the emotional tools to accept direct feedback and give the right kinds of support.

Your Relationship Can Be Different

It’s possible to feel understood by your partner again.

Couples therapy can create the confidence to resolve conflict in a way that avoids getting stuck in repeating arguments.

Consistent emotional and physical connection between partners is a frequent outcome.
