Has your marriage been struggling? Are you more distant than you would like, and the future seems to indicate that distance will grow instead of shrink? Are you having constant conflict, or maybe you’ve stopped fighting? Are you reeling from the aftermath of infidelity? Is your sexual relationship a struggle for you, either with a life change or throughout your marriage? 

Healing in your relationship is possible! With specialized training in working with couples, I can be your guide back to health in your relationship. Couples therapy is different from individual therapy, and requires a different strategy.  First, I will meet with you as a couple to assess the relationship as a whole. Then I’ll meet with each partner individually in order to address each partner’s own perspective, history, and needs without the partner present. Thereafter, we will usually meet together (with some specific circumstances that might drive me to see you each alternating for a time).  There are many things that can break down a couple relationship over time. Therapy with me focuses on changing the way that you behave with one another. It might include reframing the way that you think about your partner or your relationship, sharing a compassionate perspective with your partner. It will focus on ways to reconnect with one another. I will definitely prescribe weekly date nights and talk times in your relationship, and give you guidelines to make those experiences fulfilling. We will work together so that you feel that you can talk to one another again, connecting emotionally and at times physically.
