Couples and Marriage Counseling

Relationships can be tough. No matter how much we love our significant others, we aren't immune to problems. Sometimes things can begin to feel "off", but we don't quite know how to address it. We wait. Over time hurt and pain can build up that we can't seem to get past. It can be frustrating and lonely. Starting therapy together can help you work through the hurt you may be experiencing and become close again. Research indicates that couples who begin therapy at the onset of problems have a high success rate of resolving problems and preventing negative patterns from developing in the long term of their relationship. For relationships with more chronic problems there are many research-based practices that have shown to alleviate the negative effects of long term problems, repair wounds, and find connection again.

 

As a Marriage Therapist I've worked with many couples in all stages of relationships. Counseling may be able to help you and your significant other get back to where you'd like to be. Here are some common themes I see in couples and marriage counseling:

 

  • Loss of intimacy                       

  • Relationship Stagnation          

  • Feeling misunderstood            

  • Chronic Arguing                        

 

  • Unsure of the future

  • Loss of hopes and dreams

  • Unresolved feelings of anger or guilt  

  • Insecurity or uncertainty of partner's feelings

What will Couples Counseling or Marriage Counseling be like?

 

Couples Therapy is an opportunity to work through issues together so that you can constructively navigate and resolve problems while gaining a deeper understanding of each other, and rekindling the feelings of being loved, supported, and understood by your significant other. Through the use of research-based practices I can help you to ease the pain of the current problems, and begin to see each other again as you once did. As your marriage counselor I will help you to identify and express the feelings you've been wishing or attempting to convey to your partner.  Marriage counseling will also provide you with support so that you can begin to understand your partner in a new way that allows for healing and reconnection. Marriage counseling will help you develop both individually and as a couple.
