Communication & Conflict
Build clarity, connection, and understanding.Every couple struggles with communication at times—but when miscommunication becomes the norm, it can leave partners feeling unheard, misunderstood, and emotionally distant.
Conversations may spiral into arguments, or worse, silence. Over time, small conflicts can snowball into larger ruptures that feel overwhelming or impossible to resolve.
When focusing communication, we create a space where both partners can slow down and make sense of what’s really happening beneath the surface of reactive patterns. We’ll explore your interactions not just at the level of words, but through the emotions, beliefs, and attachment needs that drive them.
Whether your dynamic includes frequent arguing, emotional withdrawal, misunderstandings, or avoidance of hard conversations, therapy can help shift the cycle.
Together, we’ll work to:
Identify the deeper needs and emotions behind communication struggles
Break out of reactive loops that keep you stuck
Practice new ways of expressing yourselves with honesty and care
Repair past conflicts and strengthen emotional safety
This work isn’t just about learning communication "skills", it’s about rebuilding trust and connection so that both partners feel seen, valued, and supported.
You don’t have to keep having the same fight. Let’s change the way you speak and listen to one another.
“Learning to love and be loved is, in effect, about learning to tune into our emotions so that we know what we need from our partner and expressing those desires openly.”
