Communication with your partner has broken down, causing trust in each other and in your relationship/marriage to erode. It seems like every conversation turns into an argument. Old grievances resurface, increasing anxiety, bringing unhealed wounds to the top. Each of you has expectations of the other, and when they go unmet, you're both left feeling disappointed. The cycle of blame and resentment has caused frustration and emotional distance. You remember when your life as a couple felt joyful, peaceful, and full of laughter. You love each other but have no idea how to heal the rift that's grown between you. Healing is possible.

Couples counseling fosters effective communication, rebuilds trust, and enhances intimacy. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, I provide guidance in deconstructing unhealthy relational patterns and false narratives. A CBT framework coupled with a commitment to change mindset leads to long-term relationship satisfaction.

Imagine a relationship or marriage where communication flows easily, trust is restored, and intimacy deepens. Conflicts are resolved with mutual respect, leading to a deeper connection. Shared goals and dreams are pursued together, fostering a sense of partnership and joy. Restoring a foundation of love and respect is a priority, so reach out today!

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you here and work to develop a therapy roadmap. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions, and ultimately your actions. MI speaks to harnessing the key ingredients that drive change: a sense of necessity, hope and willingness.
