Couples Therapy

“How did it get like this?” 

There goes another argument. You thought what you were saying was fine, but it sparked upset. You tried explaining what you meant by your remark and how it wasn’t hurtful, but this led to more arguing.

The cycle seems to be never-ending. You seem to drift further apart no matter what you say or do.

You wonder if it’s time to end the relationship. The emotional pain that you each feel almost daily seems like a punishment.

Comparing your relationship to others only worsens because you wonder why they seem to have it so much better. You wonder if there is a way to feel good in this relationship again.

Couples Counseling is a gift for yourself.

This relationship is a big part of your life, and continuing to feel this way harms both of you.

Imagine life in the future if you continue as it is.

The stress takes away from your enjoyment of life, which is reason enough to seek change. However, stress also has physical consequences for the body that you don’t want. Maybe you’ve even been experiencing some of that already.

Discovering new ways to reduce stress in your relationship benefits you on many levels.

Here’s what to expect with Couples Therapy.

It’s normal to feel uncomfortable about reaching out to start couples counseling, especially since your emotions are already close to the surface of the situation in the relationship.

If you haven’t done couples therapy before, you’re likely wondering what to expect or if it will help. If you have tried it before and it didn’t go well, you want to avoid a similar experience.

Remember that a past lousy experience can offer much to learn from and help guide what works best for you.

While working with me, you will be treated with respect and dignity, feel heard and validated, and receive tools you can apply in your relationship.

Let me help you get to a better place.

Couples therapy is a designated space for you. It may not be easy; growth can be painful, but I will guide you forward and help you notice what was previously outside your awareness. This increased awareness leads to insight and clarity, which allows you to get to know yourself and your partner in new ways.

In couples therapy, the primary relationship you come in with is a mirror, and as the therapist, I help you each see what that mirror is reflecting. Relationships are avenues for growth, and the stress and pain present are like alarm bells showing where your attention is needed.

What you learn from this approach to couples counseling will serve you in this relationship and other areas of your life.
