Relationship & Marriage
Therapy
Couples often reach out for relationship counseling when they believe their relationship is beyond their own ability to repair. They are no longer able to communicate effectively, they lack trust, and intimacy often no longer exists. As humans, we are made for relationships. We all want to connect with others; to know others and be known authentically. When your relationship is struggling, it can be painful for all involved and often bleeds over into work, parenting, and other areas of life. We exist in relational systems and when one system is affected, others are as well.
As a couple, we establish patterns in our relationship. These
patterns often play out over and over again resulting in the
same arguments. We tend to follow the same negative
communication cycle until we learn how to communicate
differently. In couples therapy, we help you learn how to
identify and change the patterns that aren’t serving you well
and establish new ways of relating to each other.
Some issues we help to address are communication, money and financial goals, sex and intimacy challenges, arguing,
escalating anger, addictions, family systems patterns such
as in-law difficulties and parenting struggles, differences in religion, values, desire for children and many more. We use a variety of methods such as The Gottman Method
and Emotion Focused therapy ultimately tailoring our approach to the individual clients’ need.
