Couple Psychotherapy
Most folks start couple therapy when they experience a significant loss of their emotional bond, when their relationship is no longer providing the comfortable companionship that they’ve been accustomed to. The relationship may not feel emotionally safe anymore. This can be a painful and frightening situation, especially when the relationship seems to have lost its resilience. I have found that most marriages and committed relationships can heal and grow. When I work with a couple I focus on obstacles to emotional intimacy. Since many couples find that they get caught in repetitive and unproductive patterns of conflict, my job is to help them identify and overcome these patterns and reestablish their emotional connection. Once these impasses have been cleared, they can rediscover each other. What a relief!
