Couples typically come to see me when they feel unable to address or resolve issues on their own. Communication is a central issue for most couples. It can be very helpful to have a neutral third-party facilitate discussion in a safe, respectful space to encourage both partners to express themselves fully and clearly so they feel understood.

What are typical reasons for considering couples therapy?

Financial disagreements, conflict with the in-laws, becoming parents as well as blending families can be challenging for couples to resolve and are popular reasons why they seek out therapy.

Premarital guidance: is an excellent reason to consider marriage therapy. This is an ideal opportunity to clarify each one’s expectations of marriage. It helps to prevent feeling disillusioned and / or simply feeling unhappy in the relationship down the road.

Develop a better ability to manage conflict: Couples often get stuck in what appears to be the same argument over and over. I can help the couple resolve problems as they arise and / or define the underlying problem.

Loss and Change: can create hurdles for couples. Therapy can help couple’s regain stability in their relationship.
