What should I expect in couples therapy? My primary goal for you and your partner in couples or relationship therapy is to express some of the biggest challenges you have, find constructive ways to communicate about these challenges, and heal the connection that you and your partner likely once had. If you are in need of creating a new connection, we will take the time to explore what your past connections have looked like with your family of origin, your friends or other important relationships. Couples therapy may not always feel like fun, but over time it will be healing. As is the theme for all of the therapy work I do, ensuring a positive connection is a primary end goal.
