Couples therapy is useful for individuals in various stages and types of relationships. This includes dating relationships, marriages, same-sex or common law partnerships, or other kinds of relationship agreements. Most couples decide to begin therapy as a response to a conflict or other difficult situation. My interactive approach can help couples with:
- Discussing difficult issues in a safe setting
- Learning to resolve conflict and “fight fair”
- Recovering from an affair or other violation of trust
- Resolving sexual incompatibilities
- Learning to navigate financial challenges
- Resolving or accepting differences in the presence of an objective intermediary
- Gaining hope that a difficult relationship can regain its footing
In addition to problem-solving, many couples seek therapy to strengthen or enhance an already-solid relationship. Some of our work together includes the following:
- Learning to communicate so your partner can hear
- Gaining hands-on tools for creating and maintaining a successful relationship
- Rediscovering what you appreciate about one another
- Strategies for continued growth and keeping the relationship vibrant
- Developing techniques for effective co-parenting
- Enhancing sexual experiences for both partners
