Does it feel like your relationship has changed? Perhaps, where there was once intimacy and passion is now disconnection and frustration. Maybe you are feeling stuck on an emotional roller-coaster and you don’t know how to get off. Or possibly there has been a rupture and you want to repair it, but you are feeling lost and scared of the uncertainty. Maybe you are ready to explore if couples therapy can help. 

We are glad you found your way here. Being in a relationship in this day and age is tough enough! Then if you are also having to navigate complex challenges like neurotype differences, a stressful new dynamic, illness, loss, trauma or betrayal – it can send a couple over the edge. Relationships are naturally designed to push you to grow, but when a life challenge comes into the mix – you are pushed even further. Sometimes it feels like you are pushed to your breaking point.

But repair, healing, and growth are still possible, and couples therapy can help. Relationship science shows us we can heal wounds, foster deeper intimacy, and increase our relationship resilience so we can have a brighter future in spite of challenges and differences. We can even create a deeper bond and more intimate connection than ever before. Couples counseling is one effective way to get there. But what’s most important is applying what you learn + practice in therapy to your daily life in order to foster positive change in your relationship.

“It’s one thing to fight well, and something else altogether to love well.”
― Dr. Stan Tatkin, Founder of the PACT Institute

So, if you are willing to put in the time and energy to change your relationship, we can help you get there. We are integrative couples therapists who are non-judgmental, sex-positive, LGBTQIA and neurodiversity affirming, and focused on both repair and enrichment with our couples clients. You can learn more about us and our practice here.

Life doesn’t necessarily prepare us for the challenges of relationships, and not everyone experiences healthy relationship models growing up. Couples therapy can be a safe place to explore and empower yourself to let go of unhelpful patterns and cultivate the relationship you desire. The sooner you take action the sooner you will start feeling better together.
