couples therapy
Being in a relationship is hard work. Whether it has been a few months or a few decades, all couples endure snags in the fabric of their partnership. Sometimes it feels like a sudden snap and other times it is a slow erosion.
My goal is never to convince, decide, or inform you of the best way forward.
In couples therapy, I am a translator who helps each person understand the other, and together, we move forward and problem-solve ways to make the changes that will make a meaningful difference.
one step at a time
Step 1 - Start by taking your relationship back to the fundamentals and become part of the same team again.
Step 2 - You have to hear each other during this part and it can be uncomfortable.
Step 3 - Stop the circular dead-end conversations that always end in defeat.
Step 4 - Clarify the big picture of what you want.
Step 5 - Then we identify the pattern of how things go awry and learn a new play that works for you both.
Step 6 - Implement the day-to-day small tweaks to move the needle and increase trust.
Step 7- Control the overall tempo and know how to access the skills you need to improve your dynamic.
