Relationships can be deeply meaningful sources of connection, and they can also become strained by conflict, emotional reactivity, or repeating patterns that feel difficult to change. Couples and family therapy offer a structured space to improve communication, understand one another’s experiences, and work through challenges together.

Drawing on principles from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), sessions help partners and family members identify unhelpful interaction cycles, manage intense emotions, and build healthier patterns of engagement. The focus is on strengthening connection, fostering mutual understanding, and developing skills that support more effective and compassionate communication.

This work can stand alone or complement individual therapy, depending on what best supports the needs and goals of the couple or family. The aim is to create relationships grounded in understanding, collaboration, and emotional balance.
