Most people come to couples therapy to work on issues that have remained unaddressed for a long time. Often communication has broken down which makes it difficult to deal with the day-to-day challenges involved in maintaining a relationship such as raising children, managing finances, work/life balance, and sex.
Many couples have challenges expressing difficult emotions effectively which blocks communication. People tend to be too eager to express their feelings which can be overwhelming to their partner or to bury their emotions which can cause resentment or depression. In couples therapy you will bring longstanding problems into the open and learn to talk about your concerns constructively so you can more effectively deal with your issues. Together you will start to identify and change unhelpful relationship patterns so that both partners can get their needs met. By constructively working on problems together you can reconnect as a couple and reestablish the loving bond that you both want.
Feel free to call me to discuss the possibility of starting couples therapy and to set up an initial consultation.
