Couples Therapy
Every couple faces their own challenges. Those who enjoy lasting love recognize they don’t have to face these challenges alone—this is where couples therapy can be beneficial.
At times, love can still exist, but the warmth of cuddling and compliments may shift to criticism and resentment. You might have thought about couples therapy but are concerned it could turn into a session filled with blame followed by an awkward drive home. We want to reassure you that it doesn’t have to be that way—and it shouldn’t.

Our Three Commitments:
1. Only Proven, Research-Based Methods
We believe your relationship is important. Our couples therapists have undergone Levels 1 and 2 training in the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy, and we strictly adhere to this effective, research-supported approach.
2. The Human Touch
Therapy works best when you feel safe and comfortable with your therapist. Our goal is to create an environment where both you and your partner feel welcomed and understood. It’s rewarding when clients share that they look forward to our sessions and find it easy to talk to us.
We don’t judge or take sides; instead, we focus on guiding and teaching you as you learn new skills. We help transform potential conflicts into moments for deeper connection and understanding. We genuinely care about your relationship and are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.
3. Courage
Discussing difficult subjects with your partner isn’t easy, but effective relationship repair hinges on both partners feeling calm and heard. We take an active role in sessions to ensure they are constructive and focused. This isn’t just a time to vent frustrations; it’s an opportunity to learn and practice skills that will strengthen your relationship. When negative patterns, like criticism or defensiveness, emerge, we intervene to keep the conversation productive. Our aim is to help couples develop and practice effective relationship skills for lasting success.
