Create a love that lasts a lifetime.
Rebuild Connection – Rediscover Intimacy - Reignite Passion
“All relationships are constantly cycling through the stages of harmony, disharmony, and repair. And it is the journey through disharmony and repair that can make your relationship stronger.” ~ Terry Real
You want to feel like you and your relationship are a priority again.
Perhaps you feel like you and your partner are strangers and are no longer on the same page. You no longer feel like a priority. You feel trapped, alone, empty and at the end of your rope. You feel more like roommates but you want more for your marriage. You want to feel appreciated, understood and special in your relationship. You want to feel like a priority.
Feeling disconnected from your partner around issues such as sex, money, parenting, and sharing household responsibilities equally can be frustrating and stressful.
You want to create a new foundation that will make your relationship stronger. You want to feel that you both can safely bring anything up without the other getting defensive or shutting down. You want to feel connected and rekindle that spark. There is hope.
Couples Counseling Can Help
- If you are having trouble communicating and discussions turn into arguments or you seem to have the same argument over and over again with no resolution in site.
- Perhaps you want help to reignite the flame and rebuild your connection you feel you have lost since having kids.
- You feel isolated and lonely and want to rebuild your connection and intimacy with your partner.
- You don’t feel like you can talk openly about what’s going on with your friends and family.
- You feel stuck and you need support.
- The good news is that you don’t have to go through this on your own.
- Things are overwhelming, making you feel like you can’t get anything right. There’s a growing distance between you that can no longer be ignored. However, like many of us, life’s busy demands have gotten in the way and there are a few things that need to be worked on such as communication, conflict management, building friendship and intimacy.
Change Your Relationships for the Better
There Is Hope.
During couples therapy, you and your partner will learn the unique strengths and stressors of your relationship. We will get to the root of your conflicts and learn techniques that will help you to improve communication while strengthening your relationship and deepening your connection.
Proactive Therapy
Research shows that couples wait on average 6 years before seeking help and by then a lot of damage has been done. I like to take a more proactive approach and help couples learn the skills they need that are necessary to enjoy a happy, healthy and long-term relationship.
What you and your partner will gain from couples therapy:
- Improved communication skills.
- Discovering the root causes of recurring conflicts.
- Increased understanding of each other.
- A safe space to express your feelings and emotions.
- Rebuilding connection and trust.
- Becoming true partners and no longer feeling alone in your relationship.
- Rekindle romance, reignite physical intimacy, and restore emotional intimacy.
Partial List of Issus Treated in Couples Therapy:
- Breakdown in communication
- Emotional disconnect
- Loss of physical intimacy
- Recovery from affairs and infidelity
- Navigating significant life change
- Overcoming trauma
- And more
A Research-Based Therapy
All relationships take work; however, you don’t have to continue to use the same methods that have gotten you nowhere.
We will be using the Gottman Method Couples Therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Backed by four decades of research, Dr. Gottman has been able to determine what behaviors are associated with relationships that last and which behaviors are associated with those that end in divorce. From this research the Gottman’s have developed a wide range of effective interventions, including:
- Re-igniting passion and rebuilding friendship
- Building a culture of appreciation and bridging the gap of emotional distance
- De-escalating volatile arguments and gridlocked fights
- Eliminating criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling
- Building shared meaning and values for long term connection

How It Works
Traditional weekly couples counseling and premarital counseling all begin with an in-depth assessment process that includes several phases:
- An initial joint session where the couple has an opportunity to share with the therapist the history of their relationship, highlighting the seminal moments that led to the current state of distress
- Confidential online questionnaire created by the Gottman Institute that identifies the couples strengths and challenges
- Individual sessions with each partner, allowing them to share their personal history and perspectives with the therapist
- A feedback session in which the therapist shares her observations of their relationship struggles, as well as the development of goals for couples counseling
