Does this sound familiar?

  • You’ve had a bad relationship in the past, and while your current partner is amazing you can’t get past the fear that he’ll cheat, lie, or hurt you the way your past partner did.

  • You’re both busy with work and exhausted coming home at the end of the day. You struggle to have enough energy to meet your kids needs, let alone your partners needs. It’s starting to feel like you’re just roommates.

  • Date nights? Where did those go? Does anybody really have time for that?

Change is possible, and I can help.

How I can help

In couples therapy I utilize emotionally focused therapy (to improve safe and effective communication), acceptance and commitment therapy (to help clarify values to support in decision making), and cognitive behavioral therapy (to help identify faulty thinking patterns that may affect how you show up in your relationship)

Our 50 minute sessions will begin with teaching you about attachment styles, faulty thinking patterns, emotionally safe communication, and will help you clarify your values. Once we’ve created a steady foundation we’ll process through any past relationship injuries (cheating, lying, breaking promises). Once we’ve come to a place of repair we can then start to explore how you and you’re partner interact in your daily life and changes to communication, behaviors, and priorities that could improve your relationship.

Couples therapy can help you…

  • Communicate your needs more effectively.

  • Reduce Tit for Tat arguing.

  • Gain greater understanding about yourself and your partner.

  • Learn to feel emotionally safe in your relationship again.

  • Rebuild intimacy.

  • Reach out to schedule a short consult call to make sure it’s a good fit! If it is we will get you scheduled and send out any paperwork that needs to be completed to begin working together.
