Couples Therapy
- When you try to communicate, does it end up in a fight?
- Are things getting worse instead of better?
- Do you worry that you and your partner might not make it?
Sometimes you just need a little help.
Life today can be stressful. Raising kids, earning a living, take care of your home, aging parents… all take time and energy. And sometimes there are unexpected stressors and loss, like illness, death of a parent, or world events. Sometimes it’s hard to have anything left over for yourself or your relationship. You may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or depressed. Then it’s easy to take your frustrations out on each other.
And if there has been any relationship trauma or betrayal, your trust has been completely broken.
Most of us had some difficulties in our childhood and families growing up. If you didn’t have good role models for communicating and negotiating conflict, it’s harder to work things out with your partner. And if you experienced any trauma you have your own pain and anger.
But, none of these challenges are insurmountable. With couples therapy, you can begin to identify the different layers that are making it hard for you and your partner to connect and get your needs met. We’ll look at your family-of-origin patterns, your personality differences, and how men and women are different, plus any outside stressors or issues specific to you and your marriage.
When you heal those old childhood wounds you aren’t triggered so easily. And you develop compassion for each other’s struggles and what you’ve both been through. You also learn to appreciate your differences and remember why you like each other. And you begin to rebuild trust so you can really be there for each other again.
Then you can communicate and work out your differences so you both get what you need. Because you both want what’s best for the other person. Instead of feeling like enemies, you have each other’s back. And you can face whatever life brings together.
That’s the kind of marriage you deserve.
I came from a difficult family myself and I struggled to find healthy love. But I did and that’s why I love helping you. Sometimes you just need someone who has been there to show you the way.
I regularly get calls from couples who are on the verge of breaking up. But they go from the worst place in their marriage to a relationship better than they ever imagined. Because when you heal those old traumas together, you deepen your connection and build a foundation that can withstand almost anything.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
