Couples Therapy

"It's really not about the dishes." 

​

Although you may feel frustrated and angry that your partner is not doing the dishes in the right way or often enough, the feelings of resentment are likely wholly unrelated to the dishes. It is more likely that there are deeper, more vulnerable issues beneath the surface that are showing up as arguments about dishes or laundry. Since you are here, my guess is you know that your relationship could use some help beyond solving surface arguments.

 

Seeking therapy as a couple is a courageous first step toward moving forward in your relationship. Couples often feel stuck in circular arguments and repeating patterns which can feel extremely frustrating, even hopeless. Similar to how I work with individuals, I work from an attachment lens with couples, utilizing the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) principles and practices. Each individual’s attachment style, which was formed in childhood, can have a tremendous impact on their relationships throughout life. Bringing awareness to you and your partner’s attachment styles and approaching your relationship from that lens can bring your relationship to a place of closeness and healing. If you would like to go deeper with your partner, reach out. I would love to meet you.
