Relationship Therapy
Couples therapy can build intimacy, dissolve resentment, and help you weather the storm of life’s challenges.
Couples and intimate relationship therapy is a unique subspecialty in the world of family therapy.
Couples often seek therapy when they have problems that feel so insurmountable that they are considering separation. Instead of finding one person to blame, we help you notice patterns in how you relate to each other and support you in changing those interactions. We don’t believe that one partner is solely responsible for the relationship’s challenges, because patterns are created—and changed—together.
