Couples Therapy

What is Couples Therapy?

Stress or disharmony in a close, intimate relationship can often lead to disruptions or interruptions in other areas of your life. Whether with an intimate partner (girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, domestic partner) or someone with whom you share a close relationship with (roommate, co-worker, family member), relationships with others can be challenging to navigate to say the least!

The best way to describe the position we come from when working with couples and interpersonal relationship distress is as follows: blaming or fault-finding is unproductive, everyone has strengths and limitations, most everyone has vulnerabilities and triggers from our upbringing and prior relationships, every moment and every person can be a teacher and offer a chance to learn a valuable lessons if we are open and willing to learn, and usually our most challenging relationships are our greatest teachers. Furthermore, in some cases the lessons are not metabolized and digested immediately and sitting with the gray is necessary in order to reach a deeper level of intimacy.
