Relationship Therapy
You are tired of arguing, of talking without being heard. When your partner is talking during arguments, all you can hear is the voice of the Charlie Brown teacher in your head, “Blah, blah, blah.” You feel compelled to defend yourself and your mind spins with your next comeback or you feel overwhelmed and the words just won’t come. You want to understand where your partner is coming from. More than anything, you want to feel understood, too. But sometimes, it feels hopeless. The friction between you creates a disconnection and you long to reconnect as partners, as friends, and as lovers.
Couples therapy can help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck in conflict and begin rebuilding emotional connection, trust, and understanding.
How Couples Therapy Helps You Reconnect
Through our work together, I will assist you in exploring each of your experiences within the relationship, shining a light into the dark places and bridging the gap into each other’s world. Together, we will explore how parts of you may still be holding on to past experiences, influencing how you communicate, react, and connect within your relationships today. As arguments become conversations and clarity outweighs confusion, I will guide you deeper into your joint experience and help you to create your ideal vision for your relationship together. My hope is that you'll develop a deeper connection with each other and create a relationship that feels like a safe place to fall—a haven from outside stressors rather than another hurdle to overcome. Contact me for a free 15-30 minute consultation and let’s begin your journey to creating your ideal relationship.
In my practice, I use the tools of Imago Relationship Therapy to help partners re-learn the lost art of listening.
Through the Imago Dialogue, couples learn to speak in “I” statements, focusing on their own feelings and reactions rather than on shaming or blaming their partners.
