About

It’s the same arguments over and over again, usually centered on the same things: sex, parenting, money, and household responsibilities. You know you have to get on the same page, but it’s impossible! One of you gets defensive, or aggressive, or shuts down completely. You both walk away from the “discussion” exhausted and frustrated – or worse, feeling rejected by your partner. You’ve probably tried books, videos, and advice from friends and family… or “communication hacks” you’ve found online. But it all falls flat. Now, you’re worried it will end or irreparably harm your relationship. You don’t want that… you just need relief! In couples therapy, we’ll focus on improving your communication patterns by addressing the issues behind them. We’ll look at your relationship history, clarify your concerns and goals, and track your progress. I’ll show you how to slow down unproductive conversations and give you space to experiment and build new ways of relating.
