SERVICES
   COUPLES THERAPY

when the relationship needs tending . . . 

Beth works with couples of all kinds, young and old, together or apart, conventional or outside the box.  

Hour and a half sessions accommodate

the need to hear both sides, to dive a bit deeper, and to learn some tools.

Couples therapy doesn't always have a good rap, in large part because the couple has waited too long.  

But when it works, you wonder why you waited. The wins can be like a life extension, bringing tools and understanding that give both meaning and strength

back to the relationship and to each person in it.

Communication is king in a good relationship, so we

often start with that. Once both partners start to feel heard and more understood, we build on that regained sense of safety, attending to other concerns, like

how things have changed, life stressors, big challenges,

evolving values, other family members, and the demands of daily life.​

Couples might need help at any stage of life.

Beth's rich experience with all kinds of issues, from first meeting someone exciting to

growing a family to loss of intimacy to

helping parents deal with aging,

to victories and loss,

creates a strong container to deal with most any issue in a relationship.

Beth knows the transformative gifts of deep and sacred love.

Long term relationships, without regular polishing,

accumulate layers of grime and grit.

The trick is to take the time to clear it away, to let the scratches

that can be healed soften, and the scars that can't

to be soothed and, eventually, integrated into our ever-evolving sense of identity. 

While it takes a village to raise a child, we've sadly lost that village. Yet in relationship we need them every bit as much.​

Couples therapy doesn't create a village,

but it does help so you don't have to go it alone.
