Our work starts with an in-depth relationship assessment that takes place over the first four sessions. This assessment includes written questionnaires completed by both partners along with a series of clinical interviews. The first interview takes place with the two of you together. After that, each partner meets with the therapist individually to provide more context to their experiences. During these sessions we collect detailed information about the strengths and challenges facing your relationship. We bring all this data together to formulate a customized treatment plan. Clients love this process because it is efficient, targeted, and highly effective.

Together we will identify the specific types of conflicts you experience in your relationship. We will practice skills to navigate these conflicts in therapy sessions so you gain the confidence to apply them outside of therapy. We are challenging old communication patterns to bring deeper trust and understanding into your dialogues. Conflict resolution does not always mean agreement. But opportunities for connection, compromise, and repair can take place even when you and your partner do not see eye to eye.

Recall the dreams you and your partner made when you first fell in love. Perhaps they got lost with the passage of time. What would it be like to reconnect with those dreams? Together we will identify the unfulfilled dreams you and your partner are holding. We will honor these lost parts of yourselves by exploring how to support you both individually and as a couple in pursuing your dreams. This process can build deep trust and friendship.
