Relationships are hard. Navigating conflict with our partner is hard. Finding ways to connect within our relationship amidst hundreds of other responsibilities and obligations is hard. Reaching out for help is hard.

But what’s even harder, is staying in a dynamic within our relationship that is not serving either partner, minimizing connection and contributing to an overall sense of detachment, resentment, or frustration.

The Gottman-approach to psychotherapy aims to assist couples in creating a deeper understanding of one another beyond the nature of surface-level conflict and perpetual problems within the relationship.

On a week by week basis, couples have the opportunity to re-discover their partners, creating intimacy on a deeper level than ever before and working toward a new, mutually satisfying relationship.

A series of interventions are used to foster connection, friendship, and promote a culture of appreciation and fondness within the relationship. Couples will leave session with tangible tools and interventions to be practiced between meeting.

Conflict, disagreements, and even bouts of anger and frustration are all completely normal within relationships. The key is learning how to adaptively respond to these inevitable interactions in a way that communicates that despite hardship, we are on our partner’s team.

If you are ready to begin healing your relationship, reach out for a complimentary consultation to see if Gottman-method Couple’s Therapy is a good fit for you.
