Couples Therapy
An intimate relationship with a signficant other can be one of the most rewarding experiences in our lives. Which is why if that relationship is faltering, it can also be one of the most painful experiences we endure. An emotional connection with someone we love and trust is a powerful source of happiness, peace, and wholeness in our lives. But this connection can be fragile at times. It often erodes when we don’t have the emotional tools to nurture it during the difficult stages all couples go through, or rebuild it when it has been shattered by hurt, resentment, or betrayal.
A relationship is a dynamic that both partners contribute to. Therapy provides a safe environment for partners to explore and share their vulnerabilities, take responsibility for their contributions to the problems, develop a greater self-awareness, and grow in their understanding of and compassion for one another. Whether you’re navigating a difficult time in your relationship, attempting to heal from past wounds, or simply wanting to deepen the friendship and connection in your relationship, couples therapy can help.
