Therapy for couples struggling with communication, conflict, infidelity, and more.
No matter how many times you have the same argument, you just can’t seem to get through to one another.
You still care about each other, but these days it feels like you can’t talk about anything without it turning into a disagreement. A comment about chores or finances becomes about something else entirely, and somehow you both end up feeling misunderstood, criticized, and alone.
Maybe you’ve already tried couples therapy—maybe even more than once—without success. It’s left you both wondering why no amount of talking in sessions has helped you change the cycle you’re stuck in.
Maybe you need more structured, in-depth support to help with…
-
Sometimes it feels easier to stay quiet and keep the peace than risk another conversation going off the rails. But most of the time, things escalate so quickly that you end up yelling at each other in public, or shutting down completely and ignoring one another for hours or days. You haven’t felt like you were on the same side in a long time, and now you assume your partner is looking for a fight, no matter the topic.
-
The relationship never fully recovered after what happened, even though you stayed together. You still find yourself questioning, checking, needing reassurance, or feeling insecure in ways your partner doesn’t understand. On the other side, the partner who broke the trust may feel like no matter how much time has passed or how many promises are made, it’s never going to be enough. You want to move forward, but don’t know how to do that when betrayal keeps finding its way back into the room.
-
Maybe there’s an elephant in the room that’s never really been addressed—emotions from the past that still get stirred up in the present, vices your partner can’t seem to let go of, or patterns you keep falling into. Even though there is love between you, you know those deeper layers are getting in the way of feeling truly connected to one another.
Hi, I’m Rivkah.
Let’s look at what’s causing this cycle of conflict, so you can work together as a team to break it.
I work exclusively with couples, because I know deep-rooted relationship struggles require a specialized approach—not just the standard “and how does that make you feel?” kind of therapy.
If you’ve tried couples therapy before and still feel stuck, it’s probably because the arguments you’re having about communication, parenting, trust, or who said what are not the real issue. Often, there is something underneath those arguments that needs to be worked through first. That’s why I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), two methods designed to get to the heart of the real issues between you and give you structure, direction, deeper understanding of one another, and practical tools you can use in real life to improve your relationship.
I don’t take sides. I want to hear from each of you equally, because both of your experiences matter, and real change is only possible when each person feels heard and understood. The goal of this work is to give you a toolbox you can pull from, so you don’t have to keep running back to therapy every time something comes up. I believe that with the right support, you can find common ground and rebuild a relationship where you both feel loved, heard, and understood.
