Couples Therapy
We live in a world that’s changing rapidly. Women, who were once primarily homemakers with responsibilities focused on taking care of the home, children, and their husband, are now empowered and self-sufficient. Today, we want our men to be strong and independent, yet also soft and understanding—helping with the kids and contributing to the home. As women have become more "alpha" in their professional lives, this desire and dynamic often carries over into their relationships.
In the past, things were more straightforward—the man was traditionally seen as the head of the household, and his word was final. But today, the dynamics are very different. What empowers women at work can sometimes create challenges in their personal relationships. When both partners learn to set aside power struggles and focus on effective communication, the relationship can truly thrive.
While this isn’t the full story of why relationships struggle, it plays a significant role. With women desiring an equal voice, challenges naturally arise. In my work with couples, I’ve observed that many issues stem from a need to feel heard and understood in the relationship. Unfortunately, what I often see is communication that revolves around talking over each other instead of truly listening.
Even though the world is evolving, the foundation of relationships remains simple: we all want to feel understood and valued. When I work with couples, I give them exercises to build healthy communication skills that emphasize listening, acknowledging each other’s needs, and finding compromises when their perspectives differ.
Our focus is to build that bridge to love and build healthy communication to the relationship.
