Couples Therapy

  • C O M M U N I C A T I O N

    Communication issues usually have a root cause - attachment styles - and lead to misunderstandings, resentment, and emotional disconnection.

    DIFFICULT TOPICS

    Certain topics of conversation can be charged for you and your partner - as soon as you start talking about it, things go from calm to chaos very quickly and it feels like you and you simply cannot have productive conversations about it. Couples therapy can definitely help you navigate that block in communication.

    OH NO! HERE WE GO AGAIN...

    Repeated complaints that seem to keep coming back and make you both feel defensive are usually an indication of what we call a negative cycle. You know the awful feeling "here we go again"...Emotionally Focused Therapy has a map to get you both out of the repetitive negative cycles and finally feel supported and connected.

    CONFLICTS

    Every couple has conflicts, that is a normal part of being in a romantic relationship.
    But how a couple navigates and repairs it afterwards is one of the most important indicators of relationship health (and one of the predictors of divorce).
    Do you have productive conflicts or are the conflicts creating resentment and disconnection in your relationship?

    Infidelity brings pain, crisis and chaos. As hard as it may be to imagine right now, your relationship may become stronger after the process of healing after infidelity.

    The majority of couples, between 60% and 75% stay together after infidelity, but the quality of the relationship and level of satisfaction can vary widely.

    About 1/4 of couples who experience infidelity report rebuilding a stronger relationship post-affair, especially if they engage in couples therapy and work through the underlying issues.

    That level of success depends on several factors, such as the severity of the betrayal, the commitment to healing, and whether a couple receives professional help.

    Intimacy Issues are one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy, as they can deeply affect emotional and physical connection.

    SEXUAL DISSATISFACTION

    Sexual dissatisfaction can result from a variety of issues, such as differences in sexual preferences, quality of sexual encounters, frequency of sexual activity, or unresolved relationship conflicts that spill over into the bedroom. Many couples struggle with communication around sexuality. We can help you and your partner navigate those challenges.

    MISMATCHED DESIRES

    Couples often struggle when their desires are misaligned. This could be related to differences in libido, frequency of intimacy, or specific preferences.

    One partner may feel pressured to engage in sexual activity, while the other feels their needs are unmet.

    Over time, these mismatches can erode self-esteem and create emotional distance, with one partner potentially feeling overwhelmed while the other feels unfulfilled.

    DECLINE IN INTIMACY FREQUENCY

    Physical intimacy often declines over time due to factors like busy schedules, stress, health issues, aging changes, or emotional disconnection. This can include a decrease in sexual activity, affection (e.g., holding hands, kissing, or cuddling), and general physical closeness.

    Sometimes, couples feel distant because one or both partners don’t initiate physical touch as often, leading to feelings of rejection or neglect.

Information about Insurance

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I offer private-pay therapy - I accept credit, debit and HSA cards.
The good news is that while I don't accept insurance directly, many PPO insurance plans cover out-of-network providers, so you could be reimbursed for part of my fee.
Ask your insurance about couples therapy reimbursement.
Couples therapy is a qualified medical expense for HSA accounts and tax purposes.
