Relationship & Couples Therapy

One could argue that relationships are the source of life’s greatest joys but also the most excruciating pains. More importantly though, they are the most powerful means to promote healing and transformation. In some ways, life is about learning to be in relationship. 

​

Many partners come to me feeling painfully stuck in their relationship. What was once smooth communication is now fraught with misunderstanding. Intimacy and closeness have been replaced by distrust and isolation. Appreciation has soured into resentment. And attempts to restore harmony have only created more frustration and confusion. These shifts are often signs that our more troubling unconscious dynamics and conflicts have caught up to us. Relationship & couples therapy can help.

​

In relationship & couples therapy, I will help you as partners clarify and transform the vicious cycles perpetuating your suffering. Because each partner has a role to play in the perpetuation of their difficulties, the work is not about locating fault in each other, but rather joining forces to achieve deeper understanding and growth.

 

At times I may offer concrete suggestions to help you relate more skillfully to each other. But deep, lasting change often involves being willing to grapple with our own histories and the internal dynamics they have reinforced. Through this reckoning, we will foster hope for new relational possibilities. I also provide support to couples looking to navigate the challenges of mutual separation.
