For the longest time, it seems like you and your partner have been caught in a destructive cycle.
Whether due to things beyond your control like infertility…
… an unexpected childhood diagnosis, or adding a new baby to the family, big stressors are continuing to divide you.
You both know that you can’t go on feeling this miserable, disconnected, and misunderstood. And you’re ready for guidance from the right professional.
You know your relationship is cold and distant.
You and your partner rarely do anything fun together anymore…
You’re constantly talking or arguing about the kids, or chores, or other responsibilities, but you tend to not to talk about your hopes, dreams, feelings, or needs.
It’s painful to realize that the very place you long to feel understood and valued is the very place you struggle to find peace. You and your partner are drifting apart, and the emotional toll is overwhelming. Sometimes you wonder if one or both of you would be better if you didn’t stay in the relationship, but that isn’t really what you want.
You would love to be able to learn the skills and tools necessary to get you back on the right track.
You would love to reconnect and to find one another again.
You long to have meaningful discussions rather than conflict
You would love have hope that something positive will come out of this difficult period.
A lot of the time you feel hopeless and wonder if your relationship will succeed, and you wish you could better understand your partner and actually be understood in return. You both long for your needs to be met, but resentment has gotten in the way, and you feel the disconnect way too often.
You truly want to be a happy couple again and to go through life together.

The Couples Counseling Process
Here’s what to expect in Couples Therapy:
WEEK ONE: Intake
During this initial marriage counseling session, you, your partner, and your therapist will have the opportunity to work together to begin to understand what is really going on in your world. Your therapist will get to know the two of you by asking questions about your unique relationship concerns. And, together the three of you will start to develop a plan for your time that will help you to establish and reach your goals.
WEEK TWO and Beyond: Couples Counseling
Each couples therapy session is designed to help you dive deep into the underlying causes of disconnection. Together, the two of you and your therapist will identify how each of you as individuals contributes to your relationship as a whole. The goal is for both of you to feel comfortable and confident in who you are, which makes you more willing to be vulnerable and share yourselves with each other. This leads to an even deeper connection and stronger relationship.
