Couples Therapy: Because Love Doesn’t Come with a User Manual

Let’s face it—relationships are wonderful, fulfilling, and… sometimes incredibly confusing. One moment you’re finishing each other’s sentences, and the next you’re arguing over the “correct” way to load the dishwasher. (Spoiler: there isn’t one. Unless you’re my partner, then there absolutely is.)

Enter couples therapy—a safe space where two people can unpack the mess, rediscover their connection, and maybe even laugh a little along the way.

So, What Is Couples Therapy, Really?

Think of it as a tune-up for your relationship engine. Whether you’re hitting a few bumps or feel like the wheels have completely come off, couples therapy provides expert guidance to help you both get back on track—without needing to read each other’s minds. (Psychic abilities not required.)

A therapist (hi, that’s me!) facilitates honest conversations, untangles communication knots, and helps you both feel heard, seen, and less like you’re starring in a never-ending episode of “Who Forgot to Take the Rubbish Out?”

When Should You Try It?

Couples therapy isn’t just for relationships in crisis—it’s also great preventative care. Kind of like flossing, but way more emotionally satisfying.

Here are some common reasons couples come in:

• You’re having the same argument on repeat (and it’s not about socks on the floor—okay, maybe it is).
• Things feel distant, and you want the spark back.
• You’re navigating big life changes, like parenting or Netflix password sharing.
• Trust has been broken and you’re unsure how to rebuild it.
• You love each other, but can’t seem to speak the same “language” anymore.

What Happens in a Session?

No, you won’t have to perform trust falls (unless you want to, in which case…we’ll talk).

In therapy, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. You’ll learn how to communicate more clearly, listen more deeply, and maybe even argue more constructively (yes, that’s a thing!). Techniques vary depending on your needs, but expect practical tools, gentle guidance, and yes—occasional laughter. Healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.

Why It’s Worth It

Relationships are complex. But with the right support, they can also be the most rewarding part of your life. Therapy is a gift you give to each other—and yourselves. It’s where growth happens, where understanding deepens, and where awkward silence is totally allowed (I promise, I’ve seen it all).

So, whether you’re a couple in crisis or just looking to improve your relationship game, I’m here to help—no judgment, no psychobabble, and absolutely no keeping score.
