Couples Therapy

Relationships can be like a bountiful garden giving both of you a loving base that provides safety and security. Unfortunately, the distractions of the modern world can cause us to neglect the very thing that sustains us. This can result in a relationship overrun with arguments, withering with a lack of intimacy and compassion, and starved from poor communication patterns. Eventually you are living within a vast desert of distance and feeling very alone.

Couples Therapy Works

Many people worry that going to couples therapy is the beginning of the end or that it will be too hard and scary sharing the difficulties that might be happening in your relationship. What if my partner doesn't want to come? What if things get worse? What if it fails to fix our relationship? These are valid concerns. Couples therapy can be hard and difficult topics will come up.

However, working with a skilled therapist creates a safe environment in which you can work on these difficulties. By maintaining a safe space and providing helpful guidance and tools along the way, you and your partner can have those tough conversations and move to a better place together.

Isn’t it time to have the relationship you both deserve?
