They sit across from each other, arms folded. The silence is thick but not empty—it’s full of words never spoken.
Most couples come to therapy convinced they’re at the end. And I don’t blame them. In a world of highlight reels, we’ve been taught that love should be effortless. That real love doesn’t fumble, doesn’t fracture.
But what if I told you that the presence of conflict often signals a desire to stay?
Couples therapy isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about decoding patterns. One partner shuts down—not out of indifference, but because growing up, conflict meant danger. The other pursues—not out of neediness, but because silence once felt like abandonment.
We all carry unspoken rules into our relationships—scripts we didn’t write but keep performing.
In our sessions, we learn new scripts. You learn to listen without preparing a defense. To ask instead of accuse. To feel anger without weaponizing it. And sometimes, to leave—not out of bitterness but deep love and clarity.
When couples start to love in the cracks—messy, flawed, raw—intimacy lives, not in perfection, but in persistence.
