Therapy

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship? 

​

Your relationship used to feel fun and easy...but now it feels like you spend more time arguing than anything else. Arguments start from the smallest of things and escalate quickly leaving both of you hurt and stressed. Maybe you're in a long-term relationship and considering taking bigger steps together but you want to improve some aspects of your relationship first.

​

All long term relationships take hard work and most of us don't grow up with many examples of how to do that work. Many of us get caught in relationships that feel we are never heard or can't do anything right.

​

What does couples therapy look like? 

​

Couples win and lose together. If an argument leads to one person feeling hurt, it is a loss for both. In couples therapy we learn to come together and find ways to win together. Together we will identify the history of struggles and patterns that lead us toward cycles of disconnection and hurt. With that understanding of our unique negative cycles we can then learn and both individual and joint tools and practices that create positive cycles. New cycles that decrease conflict and lead us to greater connection both now and for the future. 

​

Couples Therapy will help you...

​

• Understand why and how arguments escalate

• Learn both you and your partners triggers

• Learn how to manage challenging reactions and deescalate

• Communicate effectively

• Safely and respectfully create connection so both partners can feel joy and peace in the relationship again. 

​

​

When is the right time to start couples therapy?

​

It is never too early or too late to start working on your relationship. The moment you think "maybe we should start therapy?" is the moment you are identifying aspects of your relationship that will likely lead to greater disconnection and is a great time to start working together to change those. 

​

Even if you have been arguing and hurting each other for years as well and think "Maybe we're too far gone," there is always hope that with enough work we can feel connected again.

​

Maybe your partner isn't willing or ready to start couples therapy. Doing individual therapy for relationship issues can be effective as well for improving your relationship.
