Marriage/Couples Counseling

Couples and marriage counseling can be one of the healthiest steps you take for your relationship. We utilize research-based techniques to help you and your partner identify core issues within your relationship. Together, we'll address common pitfalls that often lead to conflict and potential divorce. Our goal is to establish a healthy, balanced life for both partners. This involves setting healthy boundaries, building strong relationship systems rooted in love, admiration, and effective communication, while also identifying and meeting the emotional needs of the relationship through tailored strategies.​

​

Difficulty Communicating

Communication breakdowns can be profoundly disheartening. It's common for couples to express feelings of being misunderstood, neglected, or disregarded, which can gradually erode the foundation of their relationship. Left unaddressed, these communication challenges may manifest as a widening emotional chasm or escalate into frequent quarrels and heated conflicts. Couples therapy provides invaluable guidance, equipping you and your partner with practical strategies and tools to navigate these challenges and reestablish healthy communication patterns.

​

Life Transitions

Navigating significant life transitions such as welcoming a new baby, coping with job loss, relocating, experiencing loss, or facing illness can strain a relationship. In therapy, we collaborate to equip you with the necessary skills to manage life's unexpected challenges without compromising your relationship. You may find yourself experiencing heightened anxiety or depression, feelings of hypervigilance, or a tendency to withdraw. Therapy provides a supportive environment to address these issues and cultivate resilience.

​

Feeling Disconnected

While it may seem counterintuitive, we understand that not every couple is meant to stay together. If you've been feeling disconnected from your partner for an extended period, we're here to help you unpack the reasons behind it. Together, we'll devise a plan to either reignite your connection or explore the possibility of separation. Ultimately, the decision to stay together or part ways is yours to make. We are here to support you as you navigate these options. 

​

Infidelity

Infidelity is undeniably one of the most devastating challenges a couple can endure. Whether you're grappling with the aftermath of a full-blown affair or grappling with the discovery of inappropriate boundaries being crossed, therapy offers a pathway to healing for your relationship. Through therapy, you can address feelings of anger, delve into the root causes of the infidelity, and embark on a journey of recovery and rebuilding trust.
