What Is Couples Therapy?
If you’ve been in a relationship for a while, you already know that maintaining a strong relationship isn’t easy, and in today’s world, it can feel nearly impossible. You’re expected to be best friends, to communicate openly and lovingly, to nurture a romantic and fulfilling intimate life, and to raise children with care and attention. You’re working hard to support the needs of everyone around you, and somewhere along the way, your own connection as a couple can begin to fade.
If you’re going through a rough patch, feeling like you’re drifting apart, or sensing that your intimacy isn’t what it used to be, couples therapy can provide a supportive space to understand what’s happening and begin healing together.
Couples therapy helps partners understand and improve their relationship by exploring communication, emotional patterns, and unresolved conflicts. Using the Gottman Method, we focus on strengthening friendship, managing conflict constructively, and nurturing deeper intimacy and respect.
How Does Couples Therapy Work?
In the first sessions, I will get to know you both, individually and as a couple, to understand your unique story and relationship dynamics. We’ll explore how you communicate, how you handle stress or disagreements, and what your hopes are for the future.
Together, we’ll set clear goals for therapy based on your needs. Using the Gottman Method’s practical exercises and insights, I’ll guide you to build trust, improve communication, and create a stronger emotional bond.
