“When it comes to this, we’re just stuck…”
The partners I work with have a distinct struggle they are hoping to overcome together.
Most of the time this is related to being stuck in a pattern of miscommunication; which sounds like “we’re not hearing each other” or “most of the time we’re really good but when it comes to (insert particular issue), my partner just doesn’t get it”.
Feeling stuck and miscommunicating becomes more noticeable during times of change in either or both partner’s lives together.
Many people start couples therapy when big life events are happening: a recent move, a loss, having children, getting married, health diagnosis, and more.
I help couples get to the root of their miscommunication through:
helping them clarify what they actually want to say
support in decreasing anxiety during emotionally complex moments
get in touch with subconscious thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations
encourage them to take risks to build the relationship they desire
Top Concerns in Couples Therapy:

Different life experiences: race, ethnicities. abilities, economic class backgrounds, veganism, sobriety, religion, spiritualty, etc.
Loss of sexual connection
