Couples Therapy

Once we had it. Now it’s gone.

How many times have you reacted and regretted it immediately?

You wounded with words, acted without thinking, went silent, and stonewalled for days.

You love each other, but somehow always end up fighting or withdrawing into icy silence or avoidance.

Often, you both feel misunderstood, reactive, and easily triggered.

You both want to be happy, live together in peace, and be a source of support for each other, your family, and community.

The truth is, it takes courage to come to couples therapy.

You both know that you could be much happier.

There is something about the way you are communicating that keeps you from being deeply present for each other.

But you don’t know how to change, and perhaps you’ve been inter-reacting this way for years.

It would help if you had an experienced guide.

Couples therapy provides that guidance.

In couples therapy, we will use proven methods for improving communication and self-awareness. I will help you, and your partner first see and then change these reactive, self-defeating patterns and shift your perspective toward consciousness, freedom, and evolution in your relationship and all aspects of your life.

Our work together will help you develop relational mindfulness.

Instead of acting with criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and defensiveness, you can learn to be present for yourself and your partner.

Rather than reacting from your most infantile, wounded self, you can learn to let your wise adult self take the wheel.

Couples therapy helps you pause and listen deeply to yourself and your partner. You choose a radically different response to your habitual, reactive patterns when you can pause, open, and let go of your story. Only then can you see clearly, tell the truth with compassion, and begin to heal.

Take a step toward transforming your relationship.

Working together in couples therapy is the beginning of nurturing a wiser, happier relationship and a wiser, happier life.

You can learn to pause, listen, and transform your life and your relationships, but it takes practice and commitment.
