BECAUSE you love each other deeply, but You can’t seem to move beyond the fighting. 

We know you want to break the cycle and get your relationship back on track.

You’re fighting more and connecting less, stuck in the cycle of loneliness and frustration that has emerged. The resentments just keep building and you haven’t found a way to truly resolve anything. You desperately want to feel heard and seen, but you just keep missing each other. 

You’re not sure how you ended up here. Things may not have always been easy, but they never used to be this hard. You’re fighting over the smallest things, every comment feels like a chance for a fight.

You know you love each other, but you’re starting to wonder if this is how it will always be. You’re feeling stuck, frustrated and afraid. Nothing you’ve tried so far has worked. 

You know it’s time to truly address these issues, but you’re not sure how to move forward. You’re ready to take a real look at the relationship, and yourself, in order to make the changes necessary to find happiness together again.

how it works

Deepen your understanding and strengthen your foundation

Therapy for relationship issues is focused on helping you learn to navigate the inherent complexities of partnership. The fact is relationships take work, but that work does not need to feel so hard. 

We come to our relationships with a lifetime of stuff. Expectations about ourselves, our partners, and about how relationships should work. And much of this is unconscious. Using trauma-informed psychodynamic and attachment therapy methods, we will uncover and unpack what each of you individually is bringing to the relationship (both strengths and challenges). This not only helps to deepen understanding and empathy, it allows you to make conscious choices about what you want your relationship to be.  

We’ll help you create a new way of being with each other. You’ll learn to more quickly identify your triggers and patterns, improve your communication, better self-regulate and support your partner through co-regulation. 

The process of therapy is itself an opportunity to be heard, seen and witnessed by your partner. And I will help you get there. Through this experience you will begin to reestablish trust and intimacy, and rebuild the connection that brought you together.

  • While this is unique to each person, the kind of therapy we do is an investment - but it is an investment in yourself and your future. It is not a bandaid or a quick fix and many clients are in therapy with us for six months or longer. This is because we are doing deeper work to create real, lasting change.
