Exploring Your Relationship
Couples therapy is a place to examine how you are living together and what you are asking of one another in the relationship.
People often come to couples therapy at moments when something is at stake, when the direction of the relationship, or the sense of connection between you, feels uncertain or under pressure.
When difficulties take hold, it can become easy to move into positions of blame or defensiveness. These responses often make sense given what is at stake, but they can also limit what becomes possible between you.
In our work, we create space to move beyond these positions toward a fuller understanding of one another as people.
Creating New Possibilities Together
This includes coming to know more of your partner’s world, their hopes, their commitments, what they long for, and what has been most difficult or isolating for them to carry.
At the same time, we pay close attention to how each of you is responding within the relationship, and how those responses are shaping the life you are creating together.
We are interested in the intentions behind your actions, the values they express, and how they are experienced by the other person.
This opens the possibility for a different kind of conversation, one in which each partner can more clearly understand their impact, and consider how they want to show up in the relationship going forward.
The aim is not simply to resolve difficulties, but to support each of you in responding to one another in ways that reflect the kind of partner you want to be, and the kind of relationship you are hoping to build together.
