Perhaps, you are wondering if your relationship is worth fighting for?
The reality is that your are not alone…
Every couple experiences hard times at some point in their relationship. However, when most of these interactions are marked by constant arguments, it causes a strain in the relationship which can leave both partners with feelings of anger and or resentment.
Many couples move through different phases in their relationship and often times don’t realize that with each phase they have to learn how to relate with one another and adapt.
The honeymoon period doesn’t last forever…
As couples move through different phases in their relationship, they may also have more responsibilities such as a career, children, or caring for aging parents. With these added responsibilities, they may find it hard to invest the time in the couple relationship, which can often be an added stressor. When couples have not learned how to allot time for relationship maintenance, and/or adapt to changes, communication can begin to deteriorate. In times of crisis, it can leave them feeling frustrated, disconnected, misunderstood, and alone.

What to expect in couples therapy?
The goal of couples therapy is to help you and your partner uncover the core issues that are keeping you in this constant negative cycle of interaction and to break the cycle. Our goal is to help both you and your partner stop having the same arguments and be able to communicate where both of you are feeling heard and understood by identifying the triggers that might be causing discontentment in your relationship. In addition, each partner will also be encouraged to develop an understanding of his/her contribution to the difficulties taking place in the relationship.
We understand that no two individuals are the same. Our team tailor our sessions to address challenges unique to your relationship. If you are looking to reconnect or restore your relationship, we provide a nurturing and a non judgmental environment for you and your partner to explore areas of contention in your relationship to achieve a deeper sense of intimacy.
We utilize evidenced-based tools in session such as emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT).
Who can participate in couples therapy?
Whether you are single, dating, engaged, married or in a long-term relationship, relationship counseling is beneficial at establishing or re-establishing healthy communication patterns in order to have a long lasting relationship.
