COUPLES THERAPY
It can be unnerving to realize an intimate relationship that was once a pleasurable experience is now a source of tension and conflict. In our culture, we often see marriage or long-term commitment as a fixed agreement between two people, when in fact every relationship has a developmental trajectory that requires change and, above all, brave and honest communication. Together, we will explore the factors that are causing concern within your unique partnership in a safe and non-judgmental framework.

I have experience working with a diverse range of adult couples as they negotiate sensitive and often frightening moments in the life-span of their relationship such as:
ā
-
Feelings of loneliness or dissatisfaction
-
Thoughts of separation or divorce
-
Infidelity
-
A recent disclosure or discovery of a major secret
-
Reduced romantic desire
-
A partner's desire to "open" the relationship to polyamory
-
A partner's desire to transition gender
-
Financial strain or conflict surrounding money
-
Sexual dissatisfaction or non-aligned sexual preferences
-
Anxiety involving pregnancy decisions, infertility, or parenting styles
-
Political disagreements
ā
If you are struggling with any of the above problems in your relationship, please reach out to me for a consultation today. While couples work is often not for the faint of heart, in my experience there is no reward for suffering. I have witnessed the profound benefits in opening up channels of bold and new ways of communicating with oneself and one's partner.
