Seeing a Therapist is a Reward Worth the Effort.

If you still love each other a lot in spite of everything you've been through…

​Investing in Couples Therapy can help move your relationship to the next level of partnership.

 When people call for a consultation, they often ask:

Is it worth it to try, or even possible to get out of this negative cycle and enjoy being together again? 

A person you live with and love can help you experience great bliss or suffering, that's true. So when things aren't going well at all, and we're just getting tired of it, why don't we blame it on the other person? Blame it on myself? There will always be plenty of people to blame, right? The question is how to move past blame, shame, resentment and anger.

Therapy is your laboratory to work on the dynamics of your relationship. You will learn effective skills to make practical and fun improvements in a safe and positive environment.

Grow the Relationship You Desire. 
Therapy Can Help.

Couple or Individual Sessions? The practice of Marriage Family Therapy relates to a client and his or her relationships. You do not necessarily need to have your significant others with you in session to work on your relationships. As a matter of fact, it is often beneficial for clients to work on becoming more centered in Individual Therapy before tackling issues together.

Frequent Arguments. Are you fighting all the time, the same conflicts running over and over and you never seem to feel heard or get anything resolved? Therapy can help you learn to communicate the truth about what's going on... without fighting. 

Silences. This is the other end of the Frequent Arguments continuum and is self-explanatory, right? If you are frequently reverting to silence and don't know how to communicate, we can help you learn to express your needs and feelings in a way that doesn't lead to conflict.

Loss of Emotional Bond. Do you remember how you felt about your partner when you first got together? Your whole self lit up just thinking about that person, and when you saw him or her, “Wow!”

Not Feeling Heard. You can learn simple techniques to help your partner feel heard while getting your needs met at the same time. This is a two-way street on the way to a happier relationship for both of you.

Infidelity. If infidelity is a subject you need to talk about, this is the place to start. We have helped many couples navigate this difficult situation.
