Couples Therapy
Your Path to a Happier, Healthier Relationship
Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating effectively on both parts can alleviate emotional anxiety from subjects of all kinds.
Couples often seek couples or marriage counseling when the relationship is at a standstill or if they are unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging. This type of therapy can benefit families with children who have been affected by relationship issues such as divorce and confront the source of the conflict.
How Couples Therpy Works
Couples Therapy consists of 90-minute sessions with myself and both people in the relationship. Together we’ll help you work through your concerns. Here’s how it will work step-by-step:
First, I provide a safe, accepting space so that you will feel comfortable sharing your struggles with me.
Through hearing your story, I will start to get a picture of what your challenges are.
We will start with helping you with immediate concerns like managing difficult emotions and challenging life situations.
We will also work to discover your goals in therapy and life.
Keeping your unique goals in mind, we’ll figure out what’s needed to help you reach them.
Over the course of our sessions, you will start making progress towards the life you desire.
I will provide guidance based on my experience and share what the science tells us about what's going on for you; I play an active role. Treatment techniques may include the following:
