Relationship Therapy for all…

Are you tired of having the same conversations over and over again with no resolution? Do you feel less connected with your partner as time goes on? Do you question if you should stay in your relationship? Whether you’re in a newer relationship or have been together for years, I am here to help you.

The most common problem that comes up when I see couples is communication - each person usually claiming they don’t feel appreciated or understood, which leads to disconnection, frustration, and often, anger. Reversing negative patterns and implementing new, healthy skills can help you re-connect on a deeper level. 

Working with me often includes effectively implementing healthy communication skills, learning how to listen, conflict/resolution skills, and how to express your own needs in a healthy way. Sometimes changing the cycle can feel worse before it gets better. Think of it like re-learning how to ride a bike. It will be challenging and often frustrating at first but practicing over time will eventually solidify the new way of riding. 

What is Brief Couples Therapy?

Brief Couples Therapy is a combination of psychoeducation and skill building methods designed to educate and provide insight to you and your partner about your relationship. Communication, listening, conflict-resolution, boundaries, promotion of deeper insight, and cultivating intimacy are some of the skills included in brief couples therapy.

The therapy is also brief, meaning it usually only takes a handful of sessions to complete. If after the brief therapy sessions are completed, and you would like to continue working on making changes in your relationship, we can discuss scheduling additional sessions.

Who is Brief Couples Therapy for?

For any couple seeking to build on their relationship skills, or need a relationship tune-up when going through a difficult life transition, brief couples therapy might be a great option! Brief Couples Therapy is also a good fit for any couple looking for pre-martial therapy, as I utilize much of the same methods for both.

Please note that Brief Couples Therapy may not be a good fit if you and/or your partner are uncertain whether you with to remain together, as the brief couples work is contingent on you both working together as a whole to make positive changes.
