Couples seek therapy for many reasons
You and your partner joined lives in an expression of optimism and love. Over time, however, your relationship has changed.
Perhaps you've drifted apart, and you miss the emotional connection you once had.
Perhaps you're in a hostile relationship with no room for the intimacy and respect you both need. You feel trapped behind a wall of anger, loneliness, and depression.
As the distance grows between you, normal conflict and stress escalate into negative cycles that chip away at trust and security. Stuck in this hopeless pattern, you suffer tremendously.
Like many couples, you may need help to remove these barriers to a closer connection. Couples therapy may be the help you need.
Gain understanding and learn skills
Couples therapy can help you understand yourself, your partner, and your interaction patterns. It can be hard work, but if you put in the time and effort, you can learn how to communicate, speak your truth and listen with respect and care.
I will teach you skills that will help you discover and express your emotions. The increased empathy and understanding you develop for yourself and each other will help you break the negative patterns holding you apart. Through couples therapy, you can create the change you desire for yourself and have a closer, more intimate relationship.
