Couples Therapy

Our intimate partnerships can be a source of stability, love and connection that positively influences all aspects of our lives. Yet for many, after the initial “happy-ever-after” stage of the relationship, couples will experience times of turbulence and disconnection. In healthy partnerships, couples find ways to turn toward these difficulties as allies and learn together how to unhook from the relational scripts each of us has inherited from the past.

As couples therapists we are here to help you shift from reacting to each other based upon the unconscious “triggers” imbedded in the past, to a place where you are able to shift perspectives and choose instead to become partners in the healing process. Bringing a new found capacity to listen and reflect, create safety and reach for the opportunities for connection. In this way our partnerships spur deeper self-understanding, enhance intimacy and sooth the hurts of the past.

In couples work, our job as therapists, is to create tangible support for each of you. So that both of you feel like “I am on your side”. In truth I am on the side of the relationship. Clear communication and a mindful quality of noticing is encouraged, so that a new relational space can emerge for something different to happen between you.
