Couples Therapy

Have you lost hope and feel confused about how to talk to your partner? Are you feeling unheard and unseen? Having the same arguments and frustrated with feeling incompatible?

Couples therapy has proven to be beneficial to couples struggling to find that connection they once had, increase intimacy and affection, create more empathy and greater understanding between partners, and help the relationship move forward with hope.

Through our sessions, I will provide you with the tools you need to communicate more effectively and move away from unfair fighting. I will teach you how to express your true emotions, obtain skills to listen to what your partner is saying, share your dreams and beliefs in a safe environment, create rituals of connection to increase admiration and respect, learn how to put your relationship first, and start creating a better future together.

When you enter my virtual office, you can expect to be treated equally and with care and respect for both partners from an unbiased perspective. We will work together to identify and build on the strengths of your relationship.

Taking the Next Steps

When you are ready to start therapy with me, click the “Book A Session” button.

All sessions start with a thorough assessment phase where I get to know each of you as a couple and as an individual, as well as gain useful information about family of origin history, rituals, and culture, core beliefs, and goals or concerns.

From these assessments, we can begin looking at your strengths and areas that need improvement and start setting goals as to what the focus of therapy will contain. Sessions will be with you as a couple, unless I feel that an individual session is necessary as it pertains to the relationship.

Session lengths are 75 minutes. Longer sessions are beneficial for couples therapy as it gives each partner enough time to practice new skills and share what they each need to express.

“Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.”
