COUPLES

Every relationship goes through seasons of challenge and change. This is a space to reconnect, rebuild trust, and grow stronger — together.

Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy?
All things can be improved, changed, and made better with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, compromise and feel connected again.

Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:

  • Addiction/Partner Addiction
  • Balance (Work/Life/Family)
  • Blended Families
  • Chronic Illness
  • Communication
  • Divorce
  • Extended Family
  • Fighting fair
  • Infidelity/Cheating
  • Intimacy
  • Mental Illness
  • Pre-Marital/Readiness
  • Sex

If you recognize any of these patterns in your relationship, it may be time to consider therapy as a meaningful next step toward deeper connection and understanding.

In my couple’s therapy sessions, I help people develop the necessary skills needed to maintain sustaining love.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Do you and your partner have arguments that never seem to get resolved?

Are you a parent of teenagers, struggling to maintain peace in your home?
Conflict resolution can teach you how to cope in challenging situations by helping you focus on finding solutions as you navigate conflict. In any type of relationship, be it personal or professional, conflict will happen. It's not reasonable or realistic to expect two people to always agree on everything. Even though conflict is a normal, healthy part of any relationship, trying to deal with it when it comes up can feel anything but natural. Therapy can help to practice non-violent communication, how to be empathetic, when to talk and when to listen, and often address lessons from growing up that cause some of the immediate, problematic reactions. 

We'll teach you how to focus on a solution instead of shutting down, blaming, or resenting the other person. You can't control the other person, but you can control how you respond.

INTIMACY ISSUES

Intimacy issues can refer to difficulties or challenges in connecting on a physical, emotional, or sexual level.

These issues can manifest in different ways, such as a lack of sexual desire or satisfaction, difficulty expressing emotions, or struggles with physical closeness.
Both physical and emotional intimacy are important components of a healthy relationship, and when there are issues in one area, it can impact the others.
A variety of factors can influence intimacy including past experiences, personal beliefs, cultural norms, trauma and relationship dynamics. 
By being aware of these issues, couples can be better equipped to address them and seek support when needed. Intimacy issues can be challenging, but with patience, empathy, and communication, partners can work through them and strengthen their relationship.
