Support for Couples
“Our disagreements never seem to get resolved… We’ve grown apart… We’re like roommates… I feel stuck in this marriage… We’re just so different now… We’re toxic for each other… Is it even possible for us to make it?”
Sound familiar? You are not alone. Intimate relationships are hard. Every couple goes through stages that bring new sets of challenges and struggles. When working with couples, I often use the Gottman Method which offers a clear model for what healthy relationships look like. The three areas of focus are: enhancing friendship and intimacy, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning.
While the Gottman Method is a solid model, I also have education and training in other therapy models, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Imago Therapy. After learning more about you and your situation, we will discuss which approach I believe is in your best interest. Regardless of the model, I always look to uncover and highlight the strengths in your relationship (Every couple has them!) while we work on the tough stuff together.
Whether you are dealing with betrayal, addiction, illness, job change/loss, financial issues, parenting challenges, infertility, or the lasting affects of childhood abuse, it can get better. There is hope. Or perhaps you just want to improve communication, create work/life balance, learn how to better connect with one another and take your marriage from “so-so” to something much more rewarding and fulfilling. That is possible, too.
