Stronger Together: Healing the Wounds, Celebrating the Bond
Couples Counseling
Our everyday lives have become so demanding that we don’t get time to focus on our intimate relationships. In order to remain resilient and strong against the challenges of life, every relationship requires nurturing and attention. The best time to seek couples therapy is not when the crisis has become full-fledged, but when you start noticing “something is off and not feeling right.” Couples look to their relationship to provide a sense of closeness, safety, connection, and enjoyment, but at times, that trust and intimacy are broken due to common struggles such as life transitions, frequent arguments, parenting issues, infidelity, ineffective communication, grief/loss and intimacy, and sex concerns.
Besides the mentioned above, there are many other reasons why couples seek out counseling. Couples therapy can be the key to turning your relationship and bringing new life and vibrancy back into your relationship. I can provide perspective, support, and tools to help you gain clarity about how you aspire to be in your relationship. In our work together, I will encourage you to increase your knowledge about yourself, your partner, and the patterns of interaction between you to break ineffective patterns and develop healthier ones. If you are looking to improve and strengthen your relationship for a lasting change, couples therapy can be an ideal solution for you.
Specialty Areas
Communication & Conflict
Clear and open communication forms the foundation of a strong relationship. As a couples therapist, I offer a secure, impartial environment to examine how you and your partner communicate. We will identify roadblocks that prevent dialogue and develop communication techniques for expressing yourselves.
Multicultural & Interracial
Navigating cultural differences within a partnership presents unique challenges, but also valuable opportunities for personal growth and deeper connection. Drawing from my cultural competence, I will guide you both on an exploratory journey and together, we will build intercultural skills and cultivate reciprocal respect.
Sex & Intimacy
It doesn’t have to be awkward. Physical and emotional intimacy plays a vital role in relationship fulfillment. I provide a comfortable, space to openly discuss desires, concerns, and obstacles related to sexuality and intimacy. Our work will address emotional/physical barriers, and deepen the intimate connection.
Infidelity
As a couples therapist, I approach issues of infidelity with compassion and objectivity. My role is to help couples understand the root causes of the breach of trust, and guide them in rebuilding intimacy and commitment if they choose to work through it.
Separation & Divorce
Trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological scars, but healing is possible after scary events, such as witnessing incidents or experiencing sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse. Together, we will work with your trauma and develop coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and integrate mindfulness techniques to help you reclaim your life.
Premarital or Cohabitation
For committed couples moving in together, counseling lays a strong foundation before taking that next step. My premarital and cohabitation services help you align values, improve communication, establish boundaries and roles – equipping you with tools for a healthy partnership.
