Introduction

Couples in early seasons of relationship often arrive to therapy holding a lot of love for each other, and for that reason, feel confused and overwhelmed by the intensifying conflict, lack of connection in intimacy, or difficulty adjusting to life’s changes as they get married, change jobs, have kids, move, etc. Couples I work with want to feel more connected and confident about their ability to connect through all of life’s seasons and are ready to adapt a new framework of conflict to make it happen. In couples therapy, you will: increase insight to yourself & your partner, so that you both understand what’s actually happening in conflict; recognize and own your go-to coping behaviors and the impact they have on your conflict; address the fears, beliefs, and/or experiences that block you from connecting on a deeper emotional level; and practice taking the risk of really, truly connecting with each other about your needs and emotions. Sessions will be spent slowing down your conversations to notice and understand the common conflict cycles you get stuck in. We’ll practice — in session — turning toward each other, holding difficult emotion together, and building the safety to go to vulnerable emotion instead of protective coping mechanisms that keep you stuck in loops of conflict.
