When conflict repeats, both partners often feel unheard, defensive, and exhausted. The goal is not to win arguments more skillfully. The goal is to change the cycle itself.
We focus on communication, attachment needs, emotional safety, and practical repair so that difficult conversations stop turning into predictable damage.
We work with recurring conflict loops, escalation triggers, and the communication breakdowns that keep both partners locked into defensive roles. Treatment also addresses repair after trust injuries, emotional distance, attachment needs, boundaries, and accountability.
Couples therapy is most effective when both partners are willing to examine their role in the cycle and practice new responses between sessions.
Session 1
We identify key concerns, current cycles, and what each partner most wants to change.
Session 2
One individual session with each partner to understand relationship history, stress context, and attachment patterns.
Session 3
We return to joint work with an initial intervention plan focused on communication, cycle interruption, and repair.
