Couples Therapy does not assign blame. It is a time to explore the unique relationship dynamics and rituals you and your partner engage in. Therapy focuses on developing new cycles and methods of engaging with our loved ones. Relationships are explored in order to achieve greater understanding of one another and promote increased intimacy. Couples therapy focuses on disarming reactive defenses and exposing unstable dynamics between individuals, while developing tools to deepen bonds. Such issues might include:

  Communication
  Anger
  Religion, Interfaith
  Infidelity
  Lack of intimacy or trust
  Difficulty transitioning to marriage or to parenthood
  Pre-marital 
  Bereavement
  Fertility Concerns
