Couples Counseling

Strengthen your connection. Communicate more clearly. Rebuild trust.

Feeling Disconnected From Your Partner?

Like you’re speaking different languages or living on different planets?

Every relationship goes through hard seasons. Maybe you’re arguing more than you used to. Maybe you barely talk at all. The spark feels dim, or you can’t remember the last time you really felt heard. Over time, even the most loving partners can slip into patterns that leave both people feeling alone in the same relationship.

It doesn’t have to stay that way. Couples counseling gives you the space and tools to shift things so you can move toward more understanding, more connection, and more hope.

A Different Kind of Conversation

One of the hardest parts of working on a relationship is that you can’t always see the patterns from the inside. Counseling offers something rare: a safe space where both partners are heard and supported without blame, judgment, or keeping score.

Unlike individual therapy, couples counseling treats your relationship as the client. Together, we’ll look at:

• The history and patterns shaping how you connect (or disconnect)
• What each of you needs to feel loved, respected, and understood
• Your attachment styles and what helps you feel secure
• The moments that are working, and the ones that leave you feeling stuck

From there, we work toward the kind of relationship you want to build grounded in care, trust, and shared understanding.

Tools That Actually Work in Real Life

We use practical, research-backed approaches, including methods inspired by the Gottman Method. That means you’ll leave sessions with tools you can use at home, not just insights you forget by the next week. These might include:

• Ways to communicate so your partner actually hears you
• Strategies for resolving conflict without walking away angry
• Practices for building emotional closeness and intimacy
• Steps to repair trust after hurt or betrayal
• Ways to align on shared goals and values

Couples often tell us that once they start using these tools, they notice shifts not only in their relationship but also in their confidence and connection in other areas of life.

A Safe Place for Every Kind of Couple

We welcome all relationships: married or not, LGBTQIA+, monogamous, non-monogamous, long-term or newly together. Every couple’s story is different. We meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you work toward the relationship you want.

Whether you’re here for marriage counseling, premarital counseling, or just to reconnect, our focus is on helping you feel understood, respected, and supported.

Support Through Changes and Challenges

Life changes can strain even the healthiest relationships. Maybe you’ve just had a baby, moved to a new city, started a demanding job, or begun caring for a family member. Sometimes couples grow apart quietly, without a clear “reason,” until the distance feels overwhelming.

Therapy gives you space to talk about these changes, learn how to navigate them together, and build a relationship that can adapt and grow.
