Why couples therapy now?

Having a baby is the biggest change most relationships will ever face.

But will it be a precious time full of happiness and fulfillment, or a stressful stage of arguments and disconnection?

The answer is often that it’s a bit of both.

If your relationship is struggling right now, you’re not alone.

And even if you’re looking to this transition with a mix of excitement and worry about your marriage, you can do something to protect it now.

Couples therapy can help new parents if you find yourselves…

  • Snapping in the middle of the night

  • Arguing about domestic responsibilities

  • Struggling with different parenting styles

  • Comparing whose day was harder

  • Disagreeing about intimacy, money, or boundaries with family

  • Missing the way the relationship used to be

Couples therapy can help expecting parents plan for these issues before they begin.

Expecting Parent Workshops

Therapist-led workshops can help couples feel ready to welcome baby home. These one-day workshops will cover common issues in the new parent stage, offer tools to communicate better, and provide opportunities to practice having thoughtful conversations in a supportive environment.

If you’re interested, feel free to reach out to ask if I am currently recruiting for a workshop.
