You may be seeking couples therapy during a crisis with your partner, realizing you are at a turning point in the relationship.  Or, you may just be looking for a place to intentionally “tune-up” your relationship, understanding that you need something more or want to find a deeper sense of intimacy and connection with your partner.  

 

Regardless of what stage of relationship you're in, you are likely considering asking for help from a couples therapist because of an uncomfortable or hurtful pattern in the relationship that you're having difficulty changing on your own. You are wanting to find more of those good feelings of love, joy and connection. With the right guide, making the necessary changes to create or return to a loving connection can feel easier while regaining a hopeful outlook in finding love and fulfillment in relationship again.  I invite you to reach out and get help when you need it the most.

 

Couples therapy can also become a wonderful opportunity to learn about yourself, your needs and how you can help change stuck or unhealthy dynamics with your partner.  I am here to help you find a better outlook and discover helpful ways to share respectful communication from the heart.
