Online Couples Therapy in Elkhorn, NE serving all of Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Georgia, & Vermont
This isn’t how you want your relationship to feel.
You keep having the same fight over and over again. It starts over something small, but it never really feels small. You try to bring things up, but it either turns into an argument… or you stop yourself altogether because you just don’t have it in you to go through it again. And when you do talk about it, it often ends the same way, both of you feeling hurt, defensive, and completely misunderstood.
Nothing actually gets resolved. If anything, it just adds to the growing distance between you. You might find yourself thinking, “How did we get here?” Or noticing that things feel different now, more tense, more fragile. Part of you may even wonder if this is just how your relationship is going to be. Or if you’re slowly drifting further apart without knowing how to stop it.
At this point, it doesn’t just stay in your relationship. It follows you into your day, making it hard to focus at work, harder to sleep at night. You feel more on edge, more disconnected. And even when you’re with your kids, part of you is somewhere else…still carrying the weight of everything that feels unresolved between you.
From feeling stuck in conflict to truly feeling understood again.
You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle.
It’s possible to learn how to actually work through disagreements in a way where both of you feel heard, understood, and respected. You can begin to heal the hurt that’s built up over time,
rebuild trust, and feel more connected to each other again.
In our work together, we’ll focus on what’s actually happening between you, not just in the moment, but in the patterns underneath it. Some sessions may focus on building practical communication skills so conversations don’t escalate the way they have in the past. Other times, we’ll slow things down and walk through a recent argument, so you can understand what happened and respond differently moving forward. We may also explore how your individual experiences, expectations, and values shape the way you show up in your relationship, so you can move forward with more clarity and intention.

Your Questions, Answered
-
I am a marriage & family therapist, meaning I attended a graduate school program specializing in systemic therapy (looking at all the systems and relationships of the client). I learned about many different theories regarding couples therapy and am level 1 trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I don’t practice one method exclusively, but bring in interventions from all the theories and practices I have learned that best meet the specific couples needs.
-
Not necessarily. While a majority of couples therapy sessions will be together, there could be times when it is helpful for me to meet with each of the partners individually.
-
No, I take a neutral stance. I am on the side of the relationship and will highlight things that each partner could do to improve the relationship. An exception to this is if there is abuse going on in the relationship.
