My partner is driving me crazy! What should I do?
A small irritation feels like a splinter you can’t find, spreading into every part of your life. Sometimes it seems like it’s gone, and things feel okay for a while. But then, out of nowhere, you hit it again—maybe while talking about the dirty dishes.
The splinter’s still there. Tension rises, the conversation turns into a fight, and one of you walks away. We hear your frustrations, and we’re here to help.
Marriage & couples therapy helps you identify and remove those "splinters," restoring communication, trust, and connection in your relationship.

What is Marriage & Couples Therapy?
We aren’t born with the skills and tools needed to have successful relationships. Building a healthy partnership takes work, and it’s normal to hit rough patches along the way. Marriage & couples therapy offers a safe space for you and your partner to learn those essential skills—like how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and truly listen to each other.
A couples and marriage therapist helps you uncover the deeper issues causing tension and guides you in finding practical solutions to rebuild trust and intimacy. Whether you’re dealing with communication issues, past hurts, or simply feeling emotionally distant, therapy gives you and your partner a path to rebuild the relationship and move forward with greater understanding and affection.

Are You Experiencing Any Of The Following Challenges In Your Relationship?
Communication Breakdowns
Do conversations with your partner often end in frustration, with both of you feeling unheard or misunderstood? Therapy gives you the tools to express your needs and hear your partner’s more effectively.
Constant Conflict or Fighting
If every little thing seems to spark an argument, and it feels like you’re stuck in a cycle of fighting, therapy can help you and your partner get to the root of the conflict and resolve disagreements more peacefully.
Emotional Distance
Have you started feeling more like roommates than partners? If the emotional connection has faded, therapy can help you restore affection, intimacy, and the bond that brought you together in the first place.
Trust Issues
Rebuilding trust after a betrayal or a hurt can feel impossible, but it is possible. Marriage and couples therapy provides a safe space where you can work through the pain, understand each other’s feelings, and take steps to move forward together.
Parenting Disagreements
Raising kids can put a strain on even the strongest relationships, especially when you and your partner have different ideas about parenting. Therapy helps you get on the same page, align your parenting approaches, and feel more united as a team.
Feeling Stuck or Lost in Your Relationship
Sometimes, you look around and wonder, “How did things get this bad?” Therapy can help you figure out what’s gone wrong and how to fix it. It will help you gain clarity on the underlying issues and work on a plan to move forward together.
If you’re facing these challenges, marriage and couples therapy can help. Together,we’ll work to rebuild your foundation, strengthen communication, and create a relationship where you both feel heard, understood, and valued.

Approaches We Use In Marriage & Couples Therapy
Every relationship is unique, so we offer a variety of therapy approaches to meet your specific needs as a couple. Whether you’re looking to improve communication, rebuild trust, or reconnect on a deeper level, we’ll guide you with the right tools and support to help your relationship grow stronger and become more fulfilling.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach that helps couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen their emotional connection with one another. By focusing on building trust and managing conflict constructively, this method equips you and your partner with practical tools to strengthen your relationship and create a more fulfilling, lasting bond.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you process trauma and stress that’s stored in your body. By becoming more aware of physical sensations and using body-based techniques, you can release tension and improve emotional resilience with your partner.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness therapy teaches you how to stay present in the moment, reducing stress and anxiety. By focusing on awareness and acceptance, you learn how to respond to relational challenges with greater calm and clarity.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS views the mind as made up of different “parts” or sub-personalities, each with its own thoughts and feelings. By working with these parts, IFS helps you resolve inner conflicts, heal past wounds, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and your partner.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how your early relationships shape your emotional patterns and connections with others. By exploring these attachments, this approach helps you heal old wounds, build stronger bonds, and create a healthier, more secure relationship with your spouse or partner.

Questions About Marriage & Couples Therapy
How long can we expect to be in marriage and couples therapy?
It depends on what you and your partner are working through. Some couples start to see changes after just a few sessions, while others might need more time to address deeper issues. Your therapist will check in regularly to make sure you’re both making progress and feeling good about where things are headed.
What can we expect in our first couples therapy session?
The first session is all about getting to know you and your partner. You’ll talk about what’s been going on in your relationship and what you hope to get out of therapy. Your therapist will also set up individual sessions with each of you before you meet together as a couple, so they can hear your perspectives separately. We use a specific therapeutic approach that we have seen create lasting results time and time again. This approach doesn’t just “fix” the current problem but teaches you how to overcome problems that may come up in the future.
What if my partner is reluctant to come to therapy?
It’s pretty common for one partner to be hesitant about starting therapy, and that’s okay. Try having an open, non-judgmental conversation about why they might be reluctant—whether it’s fear, uncertainty, or not knowing what to expect. Sometimes just understanding that therapy is a safe space to talk and not about pointing fingers can help ease those concerns.
You could also suggest starting with just one session to see how it feels, with no pressure to commit right away. Couples therapy is all about working together, and even if one partner is unsure at first, it can make a big difference once they see the process in action.
What if one of us feels uncomfortable in therapy?
Feeling comfortable with your therapist is really important. If one of you isn’t feeling it, it’s important to speak up. Your therapist will work with both of you to figure out what’s not clicking and make adjustments—or even recommend another therapist if necessary.
