Couples Therapy

Like wounds, deep hurts require healing.

The problem is not that there are problems, even big problems, between you. The problem is not knowing how to work through the issues.

Hurts arise for many reasons, including infidelity, finances, lack of honesty, or broken promises, to name a few.

Moving forward in your marriage doesn’t seem like an option unless you heal the wounds. These wounds are deep, and you feel it would take a miracle for healing to occur.

By hoping and accepting that healing can happen, you have an excellent chance of gradually closing the wounds, becoming closer, and being newly committed to each other.

Building and restoring communication is critical.

You and your spouse don’t see eye to eye on so many issues. Many days you feel that’s the deal killer in the relationship. It’s exhausting and deflating. You are burned out, and nothing ever gets resolved.

Every discussion turns into an argument, and the best response most days is to be silent and go your separate ways.

Communication can be the catalyst for your partner’s world. Healthy communication styles help you view things from the other side. It is also not impossible to restore and build a better way of communication.

That building starts with both partners committing to and investing in creating a deep connection. If you are willing to make that commitment and investment, therapy might be the best thing you ever do to realize your dream of a happy marriage.

No relationship is perfect, but it can flourish.

That emotional connection the two of you experienced at the beginning will face many challenges as your life together progresses.

You are not perfect, and perfect relationships are non-existent. However, it is possible to rejuvenate or maintain a loving and healthy relationship.

Couples therapy can provide the tools to address current problems and prevent worse troubles.

Regain what you lost.

As your couples therapist, I provide a neutral observer who offers a space where honest conversations can occur. While learning to listen and learn from each other, you can become a better and stronger team. One of the most frustrating things for you is you feel unheard, misunderstood, stupid, or even ignored. In this space, everyone has a chance to speak without criticism.

If you fail to understand the other’s emotions, you can learn to acknowledge the other person’s feelings and respect the differences. Demonstrating such respect reduces the cycle of arguments and bickering and promotes resolution and cooperation.

If intimacy is lacking, there is hope because intimacy comes from having a better connection. Through our work together, you can find ways to reestablish the closeness and intimacy that you had earlier in your relationship.

In therapy, you can identify unhealthy and unhelpful communication patterns and discover and develop new, relationship-building habits you never knew existed.
