Communication Issues
How I help
Communication issues can quietly unravel even the most loving relationships. Lacking the ability to effectively resolve and move past issues as they arise can really take its toll. If talking often leads to tension, shutdowns, or fights, you're not alone. I can help you rebuild connection through healthier, productive communication.
Is this you?
-
You try to express yourself, but your partner seems to misinterpret everything you say.
-
Small talks turn into huge fights—or awkward silence.
-
One or both of you shut down when things get tense, leaving issues unresolved.
-
You keep having the same conversation with no real change.
-
Anytime you try to give feedback it’s met with blame, stonewalling, or withdrawal.
-
You're talking, but not really connecting—and it feels like you're growing apart.
When the going gets hard.
When communication breaks down, so does connection. Many couples come to therapy feeling like they’re speaking two different languages. Arguments escalate quickly or fizzle into silence. One partner feels shut down, while the other feels shut out. You may replay the same conversation over and over without resolution, unsure how you got here or how to move forward.
Poor communication doesn’t always sound like yelling—it often looks like sarcasm, avoidance, or walking away mid-conversation. Over time, resentment builds, intimacy fades, and trust starts to erode. It’s no longer just about the surface issue, you now find yourself in a relationship that lacks the ability to learn, grow, and evolve.
Seeking couples therapy for communication issues helps you interrupt these patterns and build new ways of engaging. It’s not about perfecting your language—it’s about learning to use simple, effective strategies when things feel hard. If you’re ready to improve communication in marriage and reconnect with your partner, working with a skilled couples counseling can offer a real path forward.
How I help.
Communication issues in relationships aren’t just about poor practices—they often stem from deeper patterns like fear of conflict, unmet emotional needs, or feeling unsafe to speak honestly. Over time, these dynamics create distance, mistrust, and resentment, which make communication all the more strained.
I have carefully crafted my own unique approach to address poor communication in relationships. I draw from tried and true methods, such as Gottman Therapy and Emotionally Focussed Therapy, to help you uncover what’s driving your disconnection and start communicating with more clarity, respect, and empathy. I utilize an effective framework that makes space for both your and your partner’s perspectives, moving you away from gridlocked and towards mutual understanding.
Whether you’re trying to improve communication in your marriage, address long-standing frustrations, or repair after a rupture, couples counseling offers a structured and safe space to start the process. Together, we’ll work to help you both stay connected and engaged, even when the conversations gets hard.
