Couples Therapy

Let’s be honest, navigating the complexities of intimate relationships is hard. While extremely rewarding, relationships require effort and work to maintain, and even the strongest couples can encounter obstacles that seem insurmountable. For some couples, external factors such as aging parents, young children, job loss, or financial difficulties can put increasing stress on the relationship. Other couples might experience persistent negative interaction patterns such as having the same fight over and over again or feeling like the other is too distant, too needy, or simply doesn’t understand you. Some couples might feel more like roommates than lovers and have concerns that the spark is gone, while others might be looking to open up their relationship and need guidance in doing so. 

Regardless of the specific issue, couples therapy can provide you and your partner the support and space to explore, understand, and improve your relationship. The best time to start couples therapy is early! Too often, couples use therapy as a last resort. In reality, therapy has a higher chance of success when used proactively, and couples that start therapy before an issue becomes too severe, often report that it was one of the best things they did to strengthen their relationship.
