Couples Therapy

Feeling like you're going in circles with no progress can be incredibly frustrating. Many couples I work with have reached a breaking point due to communication challenges. They've tried various solutions, but nothing seems to work. Often, the arguments they have aren't about the real issues but are instead surface-level complaints that mask deeper, often unconscious, concerns.

As a trained couples therapist, I help couples identify these underlying issues. Once we uncover these more vulnerable concerns, we can work together to find effective solutions. Additionally, I teach couples how to communicate their concerns in a way that fosters understanding and connection with their partner.

Some of my couples come to me after they noticed that they lack a sense of connection with their partner. Some partners find themselves coexisting with one another, living parallel but disconnected lives like roommates. It can cause you to start wondering why you are even with your partner. The lack of connection can feel very lonely. As a couples therapist, I can help you and your partner discover ways to reconnect and find the spark in your relationship again.

Sex is often a very important part of committed relationship. Many of my couples come to counseling because one partner is feeling rejected and the other partner is feeling guilty for rejecting their partner and not wanting to have sex. The partner who wants sex more may start experiencing self esteem issues and may have thoughts like “why doesn’t my partner want to have sex with me? Something must be wrong with me.” And the partner who wants to have sex less may feel overwhelmed by their partner’s requests for sex and may have similar thoughts like “What is wrong with me? Am I broken?” Nothing is wrong with either of you! Conflicting Sexual Desire is very common, but can be extremely distressing for couple. As a couples therapist that has received training in sex therapy, I am prepared to help you and your partner find your sexual rhythm and develop a deeper intimate connection that will improve your sex life.

Trust is the foundation of any relationship, yet it's not uncommon for trust to be compromised in various ways. Overcoming this challenge requires both partners to work together as a team. The partner who breached trust must take accountability for their actions and demonstrate a commitment to change. Meanwhile, the partner whose trust was betrayed must clearly communicate their expectations for the future and work through the pain caused by the betrayal.

As a trained clinician, I provide a safe space for couples to acknowledge their pain and begin the healing process. Together, we can navigate the complexities of rebuilding trust and creating a stronger, more resilient relationship.
