Couples Therapy

1297312786Everything seemed so… perfect.

You met an ideal partner.

Everything was effortless.

They could do no wrong.

But things changed.

At some point, the relationship lost its luster.

Your partner, who once could do no wrong, now has a laundry list of defects.

They don’t seem to respect you as they once did.

They trigger your pet peeves. Well, to be honest, despite loving them…

They ARE your pet peeve!

You’ve asked them to do or not do this one thing for days, months, or years. But there’s STILL little or no progress.

Or things change for a while… then they slip back to the same old status quo.

You’ve explained yourself and your feelings again and again, but each time it lands in anger, contempt, or a fight.

Resentment has begun to build.

250831630It’s a common misconception…

… that our partners should instinctually know how to meet our needs (and it’s a red flag if they can’t).

After all, that’s what we see (or think we’ve seen) with other couples.

But here’s the truth: Relationships take work (and lots of it).

Much of that work centers on communication and understanding our partner’s needs and triggers (and our own).

I’m here to help you with that.

A good therapist will hear both partners.

I will hear you.

Therapy is a space for both of you to say what’s REALLY going on. That’s the only way you’ll be able to start working TOGETHER.

So, our first goal is mutual understanding, which means you’ll both be clear about what’s happening with the other. We’ll then create goals together, which requires communication and compromise.

Therapy gives you the tools to communicate your needs without having to have a blow-up or fight.

It’s easier than it might seem right now.

No matter where you are now, you CAN make this union work.

But you’ll need a trusted guide to help you through it. With each session, we’ll unlock the tools and insights to get your relationship back on track.

The faster you get started, the more damage can be avoided – and the more likely this ship can be turned around.

Give me a call. We can discuss the particulars during your free consultation. I look forward to meeting you! (347) 433-5071
