Weekly couples therapy might be for you if you’re hoping to:
Address recurring conflicts that have been getting worse.
Navigate gridlocks, align goals, or make big decisions.
Rebuild connection after an empathic rupture or betrayal.
Benefits of Weekly Couples Therapy
Momentum stays high.
A week is short enough that couples return while the material is still fresh — emotions, conversations, and conflicts from the prior session haven't fully receded. This keeps the therapeutic work continuous rather than episodic.
Crisis containment.
More time between sessions means more opportunity for damage. For couples navigating infidelity or conflict, weekly sessions keep that window small.
Patterns become visible.
When you show up consistently week after week, the recurring dynamics in your relationship come into focus — for both you and me. That clarity makes it possible to interrupt old cycles and replace them with new ones that actually work.

-
Yes — briefly. At the start of our work together, I hold one individual session with each partner. This gives each of you a private space to share your perspective and anything you'd like me to understand before we begin. After that, all sessions are conducted jointly, as the focus of our work is on the relationship and what unfolds between you both.
