Couples Counseling & Marriage Therapy

We love guiding and supporting couples through the rough waters, helping them plot the most fulfilling course for each individually and as a couple. Ultimately, we'd love to help you create a relationship where you feel safe, deeply connected, and loved by your partner!

However, we also know that not every couple is seeking to reconnect but instead wish to end their romantic relationship with dignity and grace. Regardless of where you are, we are here to support you both with the path you choose.

Why do couples go to counseling?

Couples seek counseling for many reasons. You and your partner might desire to deepen and strengthen your bond. For instance, you might wish to increase your ability to communicate or deepen your emotional intimacy.

As a couple, you might be approaching significant decisions which would affect you both. These decisions could be considering living together, getting engaged or married, contemplating having children or how to raise them, relocating your family and more.

Maybe you have come to recognize there are significant struggles you're facing as a couple. If these issues have gone unaddressed for too long, one or both of you might be considering separation or divorce.

Are you still unclear if couples therapy is right for you and your partner? Consider the following list of reasons why other couples choose Couples Counseling:

• Before Making Major Life Decisions
• Improve Communication
• Emotional Intimacy Issues or Feeling Disconnected
• Sexual Issues
• Differing Parenting Styles
• Financial or Employment Issues
• Separation, Divorce or Remarriage
• Grief or Loss
• Family Conflicts
• Other Sources of Stress or Adjustment

Okay, so you've decided you and your partner have some things to work on. But you're wondering, "Can counseling really help us? What will we actually work on in therapy anyway?" Although the process and goals differ from one couple to the next, here are some common benefits and areas which can be addressed.
