Coupled or Married

Things aren’t like they used to be.

Although you love your partner deeply, you’re struggling in your current romantic relationship or marriage.

The conflicts, disagreements, and miscommunications make it hard to enjoy your relationship like you once did.

You often get annoyed and resent your partner’s ways – but then, you realize the individual role and tendencies you play that also contribute to the issues in your relationship. These issues are often hard for you to control.

Therapy can help you deal with issues in your relationship, including the need to better yourself and improve and repair the state of your partnership.

Therapy helps you connect and find understanding.

Managing emotions and expectations is an issue in many relationships. Anger, sadness, frustration, confusion, and resentment are emotions experienced in relationships. Sometimes, these emotions are overwhelming. Therapy can help you process your thoughts and feelings and explore any recurring triggers that provoke you, allowing you to learn how to address them.

Connecting and talking with your partner isn’t easy anymore, leading to disconnection and discontentment. This disconnection makes you feel lonely, misunderstood, unsupported, or dissatisfied. Therapy can help you process your feelings and express them to your partner.

Unrealistic expectations, differing viewpoints, and difficulty setting boundaries make it difficult to relate without conflicts. Whatever the case is for you, we can explore this in therapy.

Trust issues can infiltrate future relationships.

If you experienced hurt from past infidelity in a relationship, feelings could bring that pain and fear into your current relationship. Distrust, jealousy, accusations, excessive checking in, clinginess, and invading your partner’s privacy are behaviors that don’t promote a healthy and secure relationship.

Therapy can help you process past hurts and learn to trust your partner, so your relationship can be stable and devoted. If betrayed by your current partner in your relationship or marriage, therapy can help you recover from unfaithfulness, deception, and emotional injury.

Low self-esteem impacts intimacy.

Struggling with insecurity or poor body image can prevent you from growing close to your partner in love, intimacy, and sex.

If you have difficulty letting your partner in or allowing your partner to love you because of your low self-esteem, therapy can help you address this part of yourself to bond and connect.

Let’s work on your relationship.

Therapy can help you get to the heart of what’s happening and address underlying issues coming up for you in your relationship. I can teach you communication and conflict resolution interventions to bring new skills into the relationship and help you express your wants, needs, and desires.

At some point, you may question whether you want to stay in the relationship or marriage with your partner. If you’re in doubt and conflicted, I can help you sort it out and become thoroughly equipped to make an informed decision that is the best for all involved.

Some women desire to seek couples therapy, but their partner is not open or ready. That’s OK because addressing your feelings is essential and you and I can work on that together in therapy.
