Couples Therapy

Maintaining a healthy relationship takes work.

A healthy relationship with one’s significant other is critical for personal well-being. It is the relationship central to every other part of one’s life. And when it is functioning optimally, life has a way of falling in line.

When seen and supported by our partner, our bond feels secure, and when there are disagreements, we respectfully navigate them. In such cases, both people mutually invest in ensuring a healthy relationship.

However, when a couple experiences ongoing conflict and fails to resolve tensions within their relationship, the other parts of life inevitably suffer.

An unhealthy relationship between a couple impacts the mental health and emotional stability of each person, can hurt relationships with other members of the family, and can impair one’s ability to function normally at work and with friends.

Blue Collar Counseling can support you if you are married or in another intimate, coupled relationship and are experiencing difficulty and uncertainty.

Here’s how couples therapy can help.

As a clinician, I have experience working closely with couples undergoing various obstacles within their relationship. Functioning as an impartial advocate for the greatest good of each individual and the relationship, I am skilled at helping couples explore and organize the complicated areas of their relationship.

Entering couples therapy can feel like a difficult step for several reasons. I truly honor the courage it takes and seek to create a comfortable and thought-provoking clinical space. Each person can speak freely without judgment in this space as we explore the issues and develop an approach that helps maintain a healthy relationship.

Among my strengths as a couples therapist is my ability to connect with the husbands and boyfriends I work with. My clients (both men and women) reflect on this ability and appreciate how making the connection allows for a more effective therapeutic approach.

For various reasons, men will come up against specific challenges in their relationship that they struggle to convey. I offer support. If the two of you are struggling or need a tune-up, I can help.

Let’s start our work together.
