Couples Therapy
- When you try to communicate, does it end up in a fight?
- Are things getting worse instead of better?
- Do you worry that you and your partner might not make it?
Sometimes you just need a little help.
Building a good, loving relationship takes work. But if you or your partner come from difficult families it can be harder. Because you didn’t have good role models for communicating or working out conflict. There may have been alcoholism or violence or divorce. You didn’t get your needs met. And you may have experienced abuse or trauma. So you have your own fear, and pain, and anger.
And if there’s any outside stress, like work or money issues, that affects you both. Or if there has been any relationship trauma like infidelity, your trust has been broken.
But, none of these challenges are insurmountable. With help you can begin to identify the different layers that are making it hard for you and your partner to connect and work things out. We’ll look at your family-of-origin patterns, your personality differences, and how men and women are different, plus any outside stressors or issues specific to your marriage.
When you heal from those old childhood wounds you aren’t triggered so easily. And you develop compassion for each other’s struggles and what you’ve both been through. You also learn to appreciate your differences and remember why you like each other. And you begin to rebuild trust so you can really be there for each other again.
Then you can really communicate and work out your differences so you both get what you need — because you each want what’s best for the other person. Instead of feeling like enemies, you have each other’s back. And together you can face whatever life brings.
That’s the kind of marriage you deserve.
I came from a difficult family myself and I struggled to find healthy love. But I did and that’s why I love helping you. Sometimes you just need someone who has been there to show you the way.
I regularly get calls from couples who are on the verge of breaking up. But they go from the worst place in their marriage to being happier than they have ever been. Because when you heal those old traumas together, you deepen your connection and build a foundation that can withstand almost anything.
If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
