Couples Therapy

Even in “good relationships/marriages” it can be the small things that over time, when left unresolved, become extremely damaging. Couples find themselves locked in patterns of conflict that continually resurface in their communication and lead to behaviors that increase emotional and physical distance with one another. Closely connected to these experiences are feelings of hurt, resentment, anger, sadness, loneliness, disillusionment, abandonment, rejection, disrespect, and general sense of not feeling heard or valued.

Sometimes, significant events lead to serious distress in relationships such as infidelity, death of a loved one, addiction to drug/alcohol and other substances or behaviors, financial pressures, major health issues, parenting challenges, and loss of employment to name a few. At different times in a couple’s relationship, the relationship will be tested while each person is experiencing heightened level of stress. Getting through these times can feel both overwhelming and met with sense of hopelessness or despair.

Your decision to seek professional help is a brave and courageous step toward healing. It won’t be the only step you take in this journey, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you and your partner seek to face these challenges together, or you are taking the lead on your own, you can begin to create a new path to a better life.
