Couples Therapy

No one can dance with a partner and not touch each other’s raw spots. We must know what these raw spots are and be able to speak about them in a way that pulls our partner closer to us.
-Sue Johnson

Couples often times get caught in a vicious cycle that involves attachment wounds and injuries. The attachment wounds and injuries leave couple members feeling hurt, frustrated, and disconnected, paralyzing the growth of the relationship. When couple members are able to acquire secure attachment and emotional connection with their partners, the more confidently and feasibly they are able to overcome life’s challenges and adversities.

Intentional care and maturation of the couple relationship is necessary for the well-being of the overall couple/family system and the quality of your life(s). Couple relationships and marriage takes intentional act and effort. Whether you or your partner have engaged in an unfaithful act, overloaded with work and parental duties, coping with grief and loss, or experiencing complexity in the blending of two households, couples have the ability to create a harmonious dance that transforms their lives and relationship from harrowing conflict to deep connection.
