Communication and connection for couples

Do you and your partner find yourselves having the same fight over and over? Counseling can help when you feel stuck on the same issue(s), or in a repeating cycle.

Relationships are one of the most wonderful parts of being human. They can also be one of the most painful. Couples counseling offers opportunities to move towards health so there can be more ease and joy in your partnership.

When working with couples I use contemporary approaches to understand what’s really happening for you and your partner. This includes attachment theory, which helps people better know each other, their needs, and themselves. This knowledge serves to reduce confusion and miscommunication, as well as frustration and resentment.

Some things relationship counseling can help with include: 

-Patterns of high-conflict

-Infidelity

-Struggles with co-parenting

-Challenges relating to sex or intimacy

-Lovingly navigating openness and agreements

-Discerning whether or not to stay together 

-Substance use and/or disordered eating

-Trauma recovery, or situations where one partner faces particularly tough challenges

-Preventative action to build your communication and emotional intimacy skill sets before you deepen your commitment or take a different leap together
