“Why do all our conversations turn into fights?”
“Why do I feel blamed for everything?”
“Why do I shut down when we talk?”
“We can’t address anything without it turning into an argument—so we just stop talking about it.”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. When couples feel exhausted, unheard, and disconnected, it can start to feel hopeless—but there is help.
I work with couples who feel stuck in cycles of blame and defensiveness, where one or both partners feel constantly criticized and even simple conversations turn into arguments.
My work focuses on helping couples slow these patterns down, understand what’s happening underneath the conflict, and learn how to talk with one another in ways that feel safer and more productive. My goal is for both partners to feel understood, cared for, and able to bring up difficult topics without fear of things falling apart.
With commitment and effort, it’s possible for your relationship to feel more secure, connected, and fulfilling than it does right now.
There are some couples who are past the point of wanting to try to mend their relationship and are simply ready to amicably part ways. I can help with that stage as well--with co-parenting, communication, and setting boundaries moving forward.
I also offer pre-marital therapy for couples who are wanting to work through issues before they tie the knot, or for couples who are wanting to identify and talk about potential issues. If you attend 6 sessions of pre-marital therapy, you can get a discount on your marriage license! For pre-marital therapy, I have couples take an optional PREPARE/ENRICH assessment that will identify your strengths and growth areas as a couple.
