It’s quite possible that you are reading this at your office or in your car dreading walking inside your home. You struggle to remember what it was like to like the person you are with, let alone love them. It’s gotten to the point now you look at them with distain and aggravation.
Putting brave face on for the kids, family and friends is a struggle and you know you can’t do it anymore. There are good days here and there, but they are few and far between.
It feels like a devastating failure. So, you try not to think about it.
Instead, you reflect on the good relationship you once had… and consider how to get back there.
But you’re not sure how much longer you can hold in the sadness, longing, anger, and pain.
How much more can you (or your partner) bear before walking out?

When is couples therapy right for us?
Prior to Marriage. Premartial therapy is the best way to get into marriage is starting with healthy communication and understanding.
If you are unsure if separation or divorce is the right course of action. You and your partner want to see if your relationship can be salavage prior to spending money on an attorney and calling it final.
Infidelity. One of you have stepped outside of the relationship or marriage but still love the preson you hurt. Therapy can help repair the damage that was created by having an affair or conducting affair like behaviors.
Marriage has just become damn boring. You look at your partner and you miss the way you look at each other. He/She seems interested in the day to day and not in relationship. Discussing your needs in a safe place that will help you grow and be a better family unit.
When your partner is in early recovery from addictions. How do you navigate the world togther when one of your worlds has changed dramastically? Couples therapy is a safe place to voice how your love one addiction has impacted you, how you can both move passed it and how you can be supportive of each other.

Testimonials
“I Never Though My Husband Would Cheat”
20 years of marriage, 3 beauitful child and a successful business. I never in a million years thought that my husband would have had cheated. When he told me being deverstated was an understatement. I honestly thought the life I new it was over. My heart ache and anger took me to dark places I never wanted to go back. Despite the emotional and mental hurt, I didn’t want our marriage to be over without trying. A friend of mine recommended Nicole. She not only has help us work through the betrayal but also help us discover underline issues. I feel that our marriage is stronger now and I know both myself and my husband better. Though we have our days we argue we have a safe space to go to to work out our issues. We are grateful to have given couples therapy a try.
“Something That I Needed to Do before Calling it Quits”
My wife and I had not gotten along in a very long time. We started sleeping in seperate rooms and started threatening divorce almost daily. I really did not want to give up on my relationship but also did not want to see my wife so unhappy. We both agreed to try couples therapy. Nicole helped us navigate where we are in the relationship and what we both really wanted. In an aminical and loving way we both decided to go our seperate ways. So why recommend couples therapy? I believe that if we didn’t go through therapy we may have always had doubts and blame ourselves for not trying hard enough. Both of us I believe feel better for knowing we tried and knowing that we can seperate without aggression, arguing and being vindictivie. I also now see the benefits of therapy and continue today to help me resolve issues in my life.
“I Finally Had a Sober Husband”
After 10 years of extreme alcoholism and drug use and many threats to leave my husband finally got sober. This sounds great and it is but I had no idea how to be a relationship that was healthy. I had resentment, anger, sadness and mistrust of my husband. His addiction caused damage to me and to my family. So I didn’t know what to do now that I have a husband who was loving, trusting and present. We needed couples therapy to help me understand what he was going through and help him understand what I am going through. As they say it’s “one day at a time.” If feels the same for thsoe with love ones in recovery, but at least now I have an outlet to help us through.
