Couples Counseling
Relationship issues can feel isolating and overwhelming, especially when it seems like you and your partner aren't working as a team.
Like many couples, you might have busy lives filled with careers, family responsibilities, and other obligations that leave you feeling stressed and exhausted. All you want is to feel recognized and supported by your partner.
Instead, you find yourself in a relationship that feels stuck and uncertain. As time passes, you may start to question whether it’s possible to build the relationship you truly desire.
Are you worried about the future of your relationship?
Do you miss the closeness and fun you and your partner once shared?
Are you living more like roommates rather than husband and wife?
Have you considered a divorce, splitting up, or wondering if your marriage will always be unhappy?
Has trust been broken in your marriage, and you are wondering if you can ever trust again?
Couples counseling can help you build a close and trusting relationship.
Your relationship matters no matter how long you've been together—whether for a few months or several decades. Maintaining a strong connection can be challenging, and I'm here to help you reconnect.
Counseling offers a safe and nurturing space to address conflicts before they grow. It allows you to share your feelings openly while tuning into your partner’s emotions. Together, you can learn to express your thoughts, desires, and needs compassionately, helping you avoid the patterns that lead to arguments.
In this journey, you will begin to communicate more effectively, fostering understanding and closeness in your relationship.

Common questions about couples counseling:
-
That’s ok. You can’t force your partner to come, you only have control over yourself. While it’s best if both of you are here, you can shift the relationship on your own. Therapy can help you recognize your negative patterns and behaviors. By making these positive changes on your own, your relationship is likely to grow in response.
-
I know! I get it! Time is precious. So much to do, so many people to take care of. However, I want you to think about how much time and energy your relationship is eating up.
When a relationship is working well, it becomes the foundation for other areas of your life. Your relationship can be a place of renewal and rest, allowing you to have the energy it takes to fulfill all other responsibilities.
-
Chances are, you’ve tried everything you can think of to figure it out on your own. And that’s ok, that’s what brings couples into counseling. When you are stuck in the conflict it’s often hard to see what is actually going on…someone on the outside has a different point of view and can see the conflict objectively without being attached.
You can be a relationship expert and still find it difficult to be objective about your own. Surprise, surprise…even relationship experts need help at times.
Building a healthy relationship is a learned skill, and you BOTH deserve the opportunity to learn it.
