Relationships are hard and you want to see this work but sometimes it’s hard to know if that’s possible.
Managing the Impact of Relationship Struggles
Your relationship may currently feel like a delicate tapestry frayed by miscommunication, unmet expectations, and unresolved conflicts.
- Perhaps your mornings begin not with shared smiles but with the silence of unspoken words, leaving a chill in the air that lingers throughout the day.
- Dinners may no longer be a time for connection but are overshadowed by silence or of conversations about coordination of schedules, rather than love or shared experiences.
- You may find yourselves lying awake at night, side by side yet feeling miles apart, wondering how the distance between you grew so vast.
- The laughter and comfort of silence that once defined your relationship might feel like distant memories.
- Arguments may end unresolved, or worse, be avoided altogether to sidestep conflict.
- Social gatherings may lose their joy as presenting a united front feels exhausting.
- The dreams you once shared together may now feel like parallel paths instead of intertwined goals.
The impact extends beyond your relationship and may spill into other areas of life, affecting your personal well-being, interactions with family and friends, and even your performance at work. If this resonates, know that you are not alone.
Let me help you in understanding your unique relationship challenges.
Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but how you manage it can either strengthen or weaken your bond. Couples therapy is more than resolving conflicts. It provides a safe and supportive space to gently untangle the knots of your shared life. It is about rediscovering the art of communication—learning to express needs and desires in ways that can be understood and respected by your partner. In our sessions, we will work on:
- Building Healthy Communication: Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Learning to communicate clearly and empathetically strengthens understanding and reduces conflict.
- Navigating Challenges: Learning effective conflict resolution techniques fosters a safe environment where both partners can openly and honestly express themselves without fear of judgment or reprisal.
- Rekindling Connection: Couples therapy can help you rediscover the bond that brought you together and foster a deeper, more meaningful connection.
- Setting and Respecting Boundaries: Healthy boundaries are essential for the longevity and quality of a relationship. We will explore what boundaries are necessary for you both as individuals and as a couple, and how to communicate and uphold these boundaries in a loving and respectful manner.
Couples therapy offers a pathway to rediscover the joy, comfort, and partnership that brought you together. It is also about creating a relationship that feels supportive, loving, and fulfilling for both partners. With mutual understanding and compassion, we can work to find solutions that honor both of your needs.

Couples Therapy FAQ
Will our therapist take sides?
A skilled couples therapist remains neutral and unbiased. My role is not to judge or to decide who is right or wrong, but to help both partners understand each other’s perspectives and feelings. My goal is to support you both in making the relationship healthier and more fulfilling. I do this by respecting each partner’s feelings and experiences throughout the process and helping you work together to address the challenges in your relationship.
How can couples therapy help us if we're not sure our relationship can be saved?
Many couples come to therapy feeling uncertain about the future of their relationship, sometimes viewing therapy as a last resort. In couples therapy, you can gain a deeper understanding of each other’s needs, desires, and the patterns that have led to disconnection or conflict. While the outcome of therapy cannot be guaranteed, many couples find that it helps them make informed decisions about their relationship, whether that means renewing their commitment to each other or parting ways with respect and understanding.
Why don't you accept insurance for couples therapy?
My decision not to accept insurance is based on a couple factors.
- Insurance companies often require a psychological diagnosis which becomes part of your permanent health record.
- Insurance companies may try to limit the length or number of sessions, which can restrict the depth and breadth of our work together.
By not using insurance, it allows us to tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs without being controlled by insurance guidelines. I understand that this may influence your decision about initiating couples therapy with me, and I am open to having a discussion about this before we start working together.
