Young Couples Therapy

This is not your parents’ marriage.

Both of you want a relationship better than what your parents had. You’re proactive and want to learn how to ‘communicate’ better.

Things go well, you say, and then they don’t.

Sometimes, you look at one another exasperated. It’s the same problem every time. One of you gets mad about something, and the other goes silent because they ‘can’t take’ the arguing.

The problem seems never to cease – pulling you further apart.

Everything you do seems to push the other away.

Whether it’s picking up something at the store or another simple task, you’re furious he always forgets. And you look at her, roll your eyes, and think, “Why can’t she stop nagging me?”

Then it escalates to a crescendo.

You want to pull each other closer and can’t figure out how you end up so far apart. It seems like it’s happening more and more lately.

“We can’t communicate.”

Neither of you believes the other knows how to express themself. You feel so frustrated. “Why is this such a problem?” You had this discussion a million times. Nothing sinks in.

It feels like there’s an earthquake rumbling under your feet. You don’t feel steady or safe.

This is getting scary. You can’t stop sniping at each other. Sometimes, you’re not even sure how the whole thing started. When one of you gets defensive, the other’s frustration skyrockets.

Learn to dance the Tango.

There’s no ‘bad guy’ here. You both choreographed this dance, and together, you can change the music to create a more emotionally connected one.

You’re hurting and trying to meet your needs.

Together, I’ll teach you how to be more accessible, more responsive to each other’s needs, and more deeply engaged in each other’s lives.

Be united against the problem.

This is not about winning. Put down your phones and stop sending angry text messages. It’s time to remember you’re in this together.

Let me help you create the new steps to your tango by ensuring a safe space to be heard.

It’s hard to be vulnerable. It’s even harder when you don’t feel like you are your partner’s best friend. We’ll learn why it’s difficult for both of you, what it feels like to rely on one another to be there, and what happens when everything goes wrong.

I’ve been where you are. It’s hard. But by addressing your issues early, you can look forward to a long and happy life together.

It’s time to learn a better way. Reach out now for a consultation.
