Couples & Relationships
Conflict
This may be the number one thing that causes people to think, "We need therapy". Fighting does not have to end in ugly, escalated arguments that result in defensiveness, criticism, contempt, and stonewalling. Learn new ways of communicating and listening to be able to feel understood while also getting to understand your partner.
Adjusting, Stress, Trauma
Couples can go through severe trauma and stress independently as well as together. Grief, loss, substance use, illness, new-parents, etc. These experiences can cause severe strain on a relationship that can be very painful. Couples therapy can help you become stronger together rather than drift apart. Learn new ways to talk about your thoughts and emotions, learn about your partner, and still foster your connection as you find a new way of living to adjust to stressors.
Infidelity & Affair Repair
Being betrayed by the person you love can be the most painful experience, but it does not have to mean this relationship cannot be repaired. Learn new ways to encounter the hurt and heal from the wound, rather than allow the wound to cause fights, loneliness, and constant worry that the betrayal is going to happen again or negatively impact future relationships.
Sex & Intimacy
Let's talk about sex! Sex and intimacy are a huge component to relationships. In the therapy room, we can have safe and empowering conversations about sexual needs, desires, and develop mutual understanding about the intimacy and sexual health of your relationship.
