Stuck in the Same Arguments?
Do you feel like you’re talking in circles—repeating the same issues without ever finding a resolution? It’s frustrating and exhausting and can make even small disagreements feel impossible to fix.
Most couples wait too long to seek help. By the time they do, the relationship may already be strained by resentment, toxic patterns, or even emotional distance. But it doesn’t have to get to that point.
It’s normal to feel embarrassed, guilty, or hesitant about reaching out. Maybe you share the same friend group, or you’re unsure if therapy can really help. Here’s the truth: nearly half of all couples go to therapy, and many find their way back to happiness and connection.

Family Issues: Navigating in-laws, parenting conflicts, or cultural expectations.
Communication Breakdowns: Learning to express yourselves clearly and listen effectively.
Separation or Divorce: Finding clarity about whether to stay together or part ways.
Work or Financial Stress: Managing external pressures that strain your relationship.

Some Skills that Will be Taught
Is it Time for Couples Therapy?
Do you feel like everything your partner does wrong is intentional, and their efforts to make things right always fall short? Relationship challenges don’t happen overnight—and neither does change. But with hard work and intentionality, the results can be life-changing.
At Therapy By You, I help couples reconnect, communicate, and grow stronger together. Here’s what we’ll focus on:
Rebuild Communication: Learn how to express your needs and emotions while truly listening to each other.
Restore Trust: Address past wounds and rebuild a foundation of understanding and reliability.
Navigate Conflict: Develop tools to handle disagreements in healthier, more productive ways.
Strengthen Connection: Rediscover why you came together and find new ways to deepen your bond.
How I Help.
My job isn’t to place blame, decide who’s right or wrong, or give you quick fixes for your relationship struggles. Instead, I focus on creating a space where:
Both of you feel truly heard.
Your feelings are validated.
Respect and admiration for each other are rekindled.
Using Gottman Therapy, an evidence-based approach backed by decades of research, we’ll focus on:
Improving Communication: Learn how to express your needs clearly and listen without defensiveness.
De-Escalating Conflict: Discover tools to keep disagreements productive rather than hurtful.
Rebuilding Emotional Connection: Strengthen your bond with intentional moments of appreciation and care.
In our sessions, I’ll guide the conversations to ensure clarity, mutual understanding, and validation. At the start, I’ll be actively involved—helping you reframe, clarify, and ensure your message is truly heard by your partner. As therapy progresses, I’ll step back more and more, giving you the confidence and skills to handle these conversations on your own.
The ultimate goal is for you to leave therapy feeling empowered—able to navigate challenges, deepen your connection, and continue building your relationship long after our sessions end.
