Weekly assignments that strengthen your relationship
“Homework” will often be assigned towards the end of the session and then reviewed at the beginning of the following session. This will often be in the form of activities to do together, topics to discuss, or habits to change. Most of what you get out of therapy is the work you put in outside of the session!

Learn how to establish healthy patterns of communication
When there’s a reoccurring issue, the “quick fix” is often to resolve the issue at the surface-level. When the problem continues to happen, it means the issue is most likely in the behaviors leading up to the problem, the assumptions we make about our partner’s actions, or unresolved trauma. We’ll help you to learn what healthy communication patterns look like in your relationship and how to break the negative communication cycle.
