Couples Therapy
Because even strong relationships can lose their way.
You and your partner used to connect effortlessly. Now, conversations turn into arguments, silence feels heavy, and the distance between you grows. You're not alone—and it's not too late to rebuild.
When Love Feels Like a Battlefield
Many couples seek therapy when:
-
Arguments escalate quickly, leaving both partners feeling hurt and unheard.
-
Emotional or physical intimacy has diminished.
-
One or both partners feel more like roommates than lovers.
-
There's a fear that addressing issues might lead to the end of the relationship.
-
Concerns arise about the impact of conflict on children, even when efforts are made to shield them.
If any of these resonate, therapy can provide a path forward.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
I utilize Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), a method developed at UCLA that focuses on:
-
Identifying and understanding the patterns that lead to conflict.
-
Enhancing emotional acceptance and fostering change.
-
Addressing individual vulnerabilities that affect the relationship.
-
Navigating external stressors like parenting, work pressures, and life transitions.
In our sessions, the relationship is the client. We work collaboratively to set a pace comfortable for both partners, ensuring that each voice is heard and respected.
