Couples Therapy

So many first- and second-generation children of immigrants struggle with communication in their adult relationships, as the homes they were raised in might have trained them to brush conflict under the rug and pretend nothing happened, or learned never to “air dirty laundry” or “be dramatic”. 

However, this avoidance tactic does not eliminate the problems every couple faces, if anything, it makes them worse by limiting our ability to express ourselves. This leads to resentment building over time. If this is a familiar story to you, don’t worry, there’s no judgement here. Every child models the gender roles and conflict cycles we saw at home. 

There’s no such thing as airing dirty laundry here. During your couples therapy, you will learn how to: 

• Create a peaceful environment with your family – even if you’re all big personalities!
• End generational patterns you know you don’t want to pass on to your little ones
• Equip yourself with the tools you need to start to handle hard emotions with grace, love, and patience

It’s time to create your own rules for agreeing, disagreeing, navigating obstacles and in-law challenges, and so much more with your partner to build a long-lasting meaningful relationship.
