Couples Therapy
Many couples enter the office feeling hopeless, and with doubts that their relationship has the potential to renew. You may be considering therapy at a time that has felt very challenging for your relationship. You may have experienced a challenge with communicating with one another, getting through a conversation without an argument, or simply reconnecting after experiencing a change in your lives.
We enjoy inviting clients into the neutral ground of our office and facilitating helpful & safe dialogue. Through knowledge, psychoeducation, and meaningful conversations, we aim to work as a team to support your relational growth, learn how to communicate with compassion over criticism, and find clarity in what matters most. We aim to bring hope and practical suggestions to the sessions; while you bring a desire to learn new skills and make concrete, healthy changes in your relationship. Together, we create positive changes and a rebirth of the love that first brought you together.
