Couples Therapy

This can be as small as moving houses/apartments to as big as expecting a child. Even if there’s no stress prior to the big change, having a safe space in therapy can be helpful to lay out better communication, improve conflict resolution skills, find ways to support each other, and express your hopes and fears. I also offer pre-marital therapy for couples who want to create a solid foundation in their relationship prior to marriage.

things your partner does on their personality or whole character rather than keeping in mind other factors such as stress from work, issues with their family, etc. So if the dishes aren’t done (again) and you find yourself thinking “well it’s because they’re entitled and lazy” rather than “they’re really stressed about their Father’s health” it can mean that you’re starting to have some distance from your partner and you may be building resentments towards them. Couples Therapy can help those resentments come to the surface to bring you closer together.

Some clients come in because they’ve noticed something about their dynamic that’s really bothering them but they fear that if they bring it up that it’ll start another huge fight. Coming to Couples Therapy can be incredibly helpful to learn better communication skills to have those difficult conversations with your partner without it leading an enormous argument.

Non-Monogamy and Polyamory has been more openly discussed lately which can give permission to some couples to explore this option. Entering into non-monogamy can be exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. In couples therapy we can explore what non-monogamy entails for you, examine your hopes and fears, and have a safe space to discuss boundaries, all while improving communication and conflict resolution.
