What Couples Therapy Looks Like
​Sessions provide a consistent, structured space to reflect on your relationship and explore what contributes to connection or distance. The first session focuses on understanding patterns and clarifying goals. Ongoing sessions include practical strategies for communication, managing conflict, and strengthening emotional connection. Therapy emphasizes both what is working in the relationship and areas that could shift to increase closeness.

Through couples therapy, you will learn to:
-
Communicate with more ease and clarity
