A relationship goes through numerous phases during its life cycle and getting expert help in navigating some of the trickier bits can be logical and smart. My work with couples  (of any sexual orientation) includes conflict reduction, improving communication, and creating more intimate and ultimately satisfying relationships. Deciding to go to couples therapy does not mean that your relationship is “doomed” or going to fail – it means that you are willing to put in the work to improve the quality of your relationship.

Couples therapy can benefit couples in committed relationships, those preparing for marriage or recently married, couples who have been together for 50+ years, those deciding to go through the separation process, or anything in between.

Premarital Counseling

• Is the excitement you feel about starting a new life with someone being effected by the anxiety of how it is all going to work?
• Can you be certain that your current communication style will serve you in the future?
• Have you discussed your values with your significant other and how they are going to be woven into your life together?
• Would you like to feel more confident knowing you have the communication tools to have the more difficult conversations?

No matter how compatible you are, working on being good partners as early as possible can reap exponential rewards.

The work it takes to make a relationship really work for both parties is ongoing, but the good news is that with the right tools- it actually gets progressively easier (and more fun). The benefit for doing this type of work early (as opposed to later) is that you get just that much more time to really enjoy being together.
