Are you struggling to communicate with your partner? Do you find yourselves arguing over every little thing, holding grudges over past hurts, and unable to find much in common anymore? Maybe you're disagreeing over money, an affair, parenting styles, or sex. You might be considering separation, or maybe you just feel so distant from your partner you might as well be separated. You long for the friendship you once had, to be able to communicate openly without fighting, and to feel seen and heard by your partner again.

It is a common myth that if you are with the right partner, you will never have conflict, or not experience problems in a relationship. The reality is that relationships will have rocky times and even times of doubt. Couples, when they enter into a relationship, don't fuse into one person, each becoming the "better half" of the other. They remain individuals who merge lives. This comes with its own problems and pains because it's not always an easy thing to do. As a couple's therapist, my goal is to help couples navigate and resolve issues.
