Couples + Marriage Counseling
Conflict is present in all relationships, even healthy ones. When the frequency and intensity of arguments increase, it becomes harder to respond to the needs of our partner. If you and your partner are quick to move to anger and blame despite your best efforts to change, couples therapy can help you learn to decrease reactivity and establish effective communication. Couples therapy is commonly referred to couples work, because it is just that - work. However, with openness, patience, and effort the payoff can be rebuilt trust and connection.
Family Therapy
Families are complicated systems with each member playing a role in how the family unit functions. Changes in one member cannot help but impact the whole family. Whether it be a natural life transition such as an adolescent entering teenhood or an unexpected significant event like illness, families can struggle to find new ways of relating to each other. Therapy can create a safe space for family members to talk about uncomfortable feelings; allowing each other to lean in for emotional support and acceptance.
