Forming a partnership between two people, each with a different personality, routine, history and set of needs is a complex and challenging process. In relationships, it can be easy to feel like a broken record, stuck in a cycle of conflict over the same issues. Being in a partnership can be an extremely enriching and supportive part of life, but if not approached with great intention and communication, relationships may also be a prime breeding ground for unhealthy dynamics, resentment, anxiety, and frustration.

Going through rough patches is an inevitable part of being in a relationship, and I’m here to support you in working through such challenges. Soliciting guidance from a trained professional and neutral party is a valuable way to facilitate communication so that both partners may feel understood and have their needs met. Bottling up feelings in a partnership only leads to resentment and miscommunication, and couples therapy offers a space where both partners may feel safe and comfortable expressing themselves in order to promote a culture of openness and honesty. Once effective communication is established, continued couples therapy is an effective way to maintain a healthy partnership by having a structured time and place to prioritize the relationship and check in with each other each week.
