Couples Therapy
“And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?”
– Muse
Being in a relationship can be maddening.
People said things would be hard, but they didn’t make it seem like it would be THIS hard!
One minute, you think you know them. The next minute, you aren’t sure who you are looking at.
“Communicate,” they say. Well, you’ve talked and talked to the point of being blue in the face.
What is this “trust” thing anyway?
Faithfulness only seems like a dream that is fulfilled for a select few anymore.
Love and romance sell, but right now, you’re wondering if yours came from a street vendor selling knock-offs.
Couples usually wait until a critical point before they seek help.
Unfortunately, couples seek help for the first time years after having had the start of their issues.
Maybe you have chit-chatted with some family or friends about things, or read a book together, or you keep having “get-away” trips hoping that some or all of these things will turn things around.
Nothing has worked yet.
But now you are here wondering if therapy will work. Wondering if a trained professional will be of any help for a relationship barely holding on to hope but is being dominated by anxiety, mistrust, and two people who seem to be on two different paths of life.
Relationships can and do get better, but it’s not easy.
Therapy provides a safe space to work through the challenges in your relationship.
As you work with me, I want you to feel you have a voice and a valid perspective on the relationship. I will be your guide in helping you to communicate with and be heard by your partner.
If there are places of hurt in the relationship, we will work to repair those broken parts. It is the repairs, after all, that make relationships so strong.
Affairs are extremely disorienting experiences for a couple, but an experience that many couples recover from and live an even better life together.
It is also possible that you and your partner have grown so differently, and you each have made changes to where it is better to end the relationship than it is to force it to exist. Together, we can navigate what that means for each of you and the relationship.
Whatever the issue, couples often relate to each other in patterns with roots in things that happened before they even got together. We’ll explore these patterns and where they come from, which will give you the knowledge you need to relate to each other differently. Through therapy, couples will disrupt their normal ways of doing things, so they begin to connect, whether on Cloud 9 or surviving the storm.
You can be in love again, and it’s worth it!
I know you want to feel loved again, and feeling safe and cared for by your partner is what you both deserve.
Let me help you do the work that will lead you to compassion, understanding, self-reflection, teamwork, love, and sex.
