Couples Therapy

Disengaged. Distant. Disillusioned

Your most intimate relationship has a huge impact on the quality of your life. When things go well, it brings you joy. You’re at home in the world. When you are stressed, challenged, or conflicted, you feel alone and insecure.

Relationship distress leaves you anxious and depressed. You spend more time suffering when you wish for peace. You withdraw from your relationship and from your life in general.

When your relationship is strong, together you can sort out issues. When your relationship isn’t working, your relationship is strained.

Stress affects communication, trust, and intimacy.

You and your partner blame each other. You react and retaliate, and the problematic dance continues. You keep having the same fight over and over, and nobody ever wins!

Your point never gets heard or validated. It’s like the game of broken telephone. You say one thing, but your partner hears something else! It’s not at all what you intended!

Both you and your partner experience interactions and relate to each other differently. You long for the other to treat you not only the way you’d like, but need to be treated.

Before you know it, these dynamics create a situation in which you both feel disengaged and disconnected. Working through these issues while blaming each another doesn’t work.

It’s time to figure out a new way to connect.

Without help, sorting out your troubles is confusing and frustrating.

Connection is possible, and change can happen.

What you really need is a therapist specialized in working with couples.
