Less Conflict. More Connection.

Therapy for couples with intense lives who want to be a team again

The joy you once found in your relationship has given way to something less rosy:

  • Frequent arguments over trivial matters snowball into bigger, more hurtful conflicts.

  • There's palpable tension, like you're tiptoeing around each other.

  • There’s less intimacy due to a dwindling emotional connection.

  • You avoid important conversations because you're unsure how to broach them or where they might lead.

  • Feeling stuck, despite attempts to address your differences. Past issues linger, leading to feelings of despair.

Your relationship can be a safe haven in life’s inevitable storms

You are at max stress level with the kids, work, a sick pet, and a partner who is traveling for work.

Yet somehow, it feels lighter after an evening phone call when your partner expresses appreciation for all you do. With felt emotion, they express regret they aren't there to help.

You can feel their hug over the phone, and you know you aren't alone with it all.

Your mother just insulted your partner. On the inside, your stomach drops.

You go over to your partner, rest your hand on their shoulder, and look into their eyes, letting them see how much it hurts you that this is still happening.

Your partner feels supported, knowing that although there’s no changing your mother, the two of you are a team and your connection is solid. 

When your relationship is strong, you can tackle any challenge together.

We can help your relationship be your safe haven.
