Couples Therapy.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
— Viktor E. Frankl
Do you find yourself . . .
Disconnected and unfulfilled in your relationship?
Wishing you felt you were in more of a partnership?
Feeling unheard and unseen?
Having difficulty understanding your partner?
Feeling misunderstood by your partner?
Arguing over the same things with your partner?
Trying to overcome and heal hurts or betrayals between you?
In a vicious cycle when you interact with your partner?
Wondering if it could get better?
Research shows that having fulfilling primary relationships are important to our emotional and physical health.
Despite what has been claimed in the popular press, there are couples therapy approaches that are well-documented to be extremely effective.
