Couples Counseling

I provide counseling for couples that have questions or concerns about their romantic relationships. When things aren’t right with the one you love, your whole life may feel out of balance. It's possible that you've grown unsatisfied with aspects of your relationship, you want to deepen your connection to one another, or you may be entering into marriage or a committed relationship and want to resolve any potential difficulties.

 

If you and your partner feel motivated to take address the challenges of your relationship, couples counseling can help. Couples counseling helps you and your loved one identify the relationship you both want to have, the relational patterns that are leading you two away from that vision, and develop relationship skills to connect, communicate, and grow together. Conflict, hurt, dissatisfaction and lack of communication do not have to be your relationship baseline. We will focus on your attachment to each other, enhancing communication, resolving conflict fairly, and resolving possible past hurts.

 

Common reasons for seeking couples counseling include (but are not limited to):

  • Adjustment to life events, such as cohabitation, marriage, child birth, infertility, blended families, job loss/changes

  • Communication challenges, including fighting and arguing

  • Enhancing relationship satisfaction

  • LGBTQ and multicultural issues

  • Parenting, co-parenting, and step-parenting

  • Pre-marital counseling

  • Problems with emotional and physical intimacy

  • Recovering from affairs

  • Separation and divorce
