Communication problems are a common reason couples seek therapy. Whether you argue frequently, get stuck talking about a particular topic, or barely communicate at all, therapy can be a helpful space to address difficult topics.

The objective is to achieve a healthy and balanced relationship, taking into account individual and shared needs, always with respect and honesty. One way is by showing them the underlying dynamics that fuel arguments or emotional distance. Most people never learned what healthy communication looks like, so they fall back on what they saw their parents do or not do, or what the culture teaches. I help find ways to communicate that facilitate understanding with others.

I also work with people who wonder if they are still compatible with each other and if the relationship can be saved. You may feel as if there is an emotional chasm between you and your partner, and you are unsure if the love and passion that brought you two together can be revived.

Couples therapy can be an ideal environment to gain clarity about your relationship. Having a set time and space for you and the other person to express yourself can help you in the direction you want to take.
