Couples therapy in minnesota
Heal & write a new story
In Shoreview & Minnesota
Sound like you?
You love each other, but things are just not going well lately. Minor misunderstandings evolve into big arguments or days of silence.
You don’t talk about difficult things. It’s like you’re stuck in a Groundhog Day movie, except nothing changes.
You want to change this dynamic, confidently & effectively communicate, and grow closer together.
You’re allowed to ask for what you need.
I’m here for you.
You feel stressed out in your relationship. What used to be endearing now sets you off. To keep the peace, you stopped asking for what you need.
You’ve withdrawn from the relationship to avoid addressing issues. And it’s created resentments. You feel dissatisfied in your relationship, unheard and misunderstood.
It’s when challenges are left unaddressed, expectations not openly discussed, and issues left unresolved that you find yourself disconnected from your partner.
How I can help
Couples and marriage therapy can help you heal and connect.
You remember the good times, the laughter, the teamwork and partnership you once had. And you want it back!
You want to connect with your partner, feel comfortable sharing your feelings, frustrations, and joys with one another.
You want to grow closer together, find common ground, and express yourself in your relationship in healthy and effective ways.
Therapy for couples will help you and your partner address the roots of what brought you both to this point in your relationship.
There is deeper stuff that needs to be addressed, because it’s negatively impacting your relationship. We’ll process, address, and heal these issues together.
Minnesota marriage therapy will help you create new, healthier ways of showing up in your relationship, so you experience connection, joy, and satisfaction.
You want to feel valued in your relationship. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood. You want to feel loved again. You want to work together and be partners, not roommates.
That’s what I can help you do through couples therapy in Minnesota.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Couples Therapy can help you grow in your relationship.
In our first session, you get an idea of my style and how I show up in the room. I ask a lot of questions in this session and start to get to know you as a couple.
The next two sessions I meet with each of you individually to get to know you and your family history. Attachment is weaved into couples and marriage therapy, and the things I learn in this session help me better understand your relationship. This understanding guides where we go in couples therapy so you get results.
After the individual sessions we’re back to meeting as a couple. We set goals, and pick the one most pressing issue you would like to address within a month. Then we get to work.
*****
Keep in mind that change in relationships is not linear. I’m at point A and next session I’ll be at point B. It doesn’t work like that.
You’ll start noticing small tweaks, then bigger changes. You’ll hit a plateau. Then more change. Then maybe a roller coaster week or two. Yet, at the end of the process, you will reach your goals and make profound discoveries.
You’ll also learn skills and have plenty of tools at your fingertips to address whatever may come in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Minnesota Couples Therapy —
-
If you are tired with the status quo of your relationship and want to heal and improve it, then couples therapy may be the best investment you can make in yourself and your relationship.
-
We’re not going to talk about emotions, but rather feel them, become familiar with them, start recognizing them.
This gives you space to start noticing what you do when you feel a specific emotion. Which in turn gives you space to decide what to do with it.
-
Couples and marriage therapy gives you and your partner the needed space to nurture your relationship and give it the love and care it deserves.
Going to therapy on the brink of divorce or breakup is sometimes too late to save the relationship.
-
It's understandable to worry that I won't be an objective third party, especially when things get tense in session.
My job is to advocate for your relationship, not one partner or the other. If you want to improve your relationship, then we're on the same team.
Change is possible.
