COUPLES therapy in WEBSTER, NY
As a couples therapist, it is my goal to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore, process, and overcome relationship obstacles.
If you and your partner are experiencing difficulties such as break down in communication, decreased intimacy, infidelity, frequent disagreements or seem to be just growing apart, then couples therapy is for you. I will work with both of you on learning skills and techniques to resolve and move forward.
How I Can Help
the concern
Are you finding yourselves disagreeing more frequently? Are you thinking that your feelings are not being acknowledged?
Are you having trouble finding the right words to express how you feel? Communication is one of the hardest elements of any relationship.
how i can help
During our therapy sessions, I will provide an environment where you both will feel heard and supported. I will help you learn how to communicate with one another in a healthy and constructive manner, while learning new tools that can help you communicate more effectively.
the concern
Has your intimacy level in your relationship changed?
Maybe you have been feeling tired, frustrated, betrayed, angry, anxious, or depressed and it’s impacted your bond with your partner. Intimacy does not mean the act of sex. It is spending time cuddling together, (yes, I said cuddling), binge watching a favorite series, enjoying a movie together, taking a walk, writing love letters to one another, or taking a drive.
how i can help
I can help you navigate through the clouded waters of what has become your “new normal” as an intimate couple. Together we can explore new ways in which you can reinvent your intimacy while finding your way back to one another.
the concern
Stress! Who does not have it these days? What, with all the everyday demands of jobs, family life, or money concerns.
Time as you knew it is now changed and you cannot seem to carve out enough of it to find a solution. Now, add in a breakdown in communication, disagreeing about not only the big decisions but the day-to-day decisions.
how i can help
I can assist you in finding ways to be creative in carving out time for you as a couple and help you find ways of managing the stress such as prioritizing the long lists of “to do’s,” finding ways in which you can still enjoy “the little things” and decreasing the negative impact overall stress can have in your relationship.
the concern
Infidelity (or stepping out as I refer to it) happened and has left you in shock.
One or both of you are feeling angry, betrayed, sad, confused, and playing the blame game. The daily roller coaster of emotions is taking its toll.
how i can help
In therapy, we will work on sorting out the myriad of emotions that has now become a daily struggle. As you vacillate between forgiveness and moving forward with healing vs. anger and possibly contemplating ending the marriage: You will not be alone. Together, we will sort out how the relationship got to this place, identify what moving forward looks like, work to increase trust in the relationship, talk about how the relationship can be better than before the trauma, and lastly, figure out if the relationship be saved.
