Couples Therapy In San Antonio, TX
Therapy for Couples in San Antonio, TX
Whether you’re disagreeing over parenting or feeling distant, therapy provides tools to rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a supportive, connected partnership for both you and your family.
Relationships can feel heavy when past wounds, miscommunication, and unmet needs create distance between you and your partner.
Couples Therapy in San Antonio can help.
Does it feel like you’re trying everything to reconnect—initiating conversations, planning time together, or asking for support—but it feels like the more you reach out, the more your partner pulls away? Or maybe you’re the one feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to respond, and retreating to avoid arguments. Over time, this creates a cycle of frustration and distance that leaves both of you feeling stuck.
Most couples think they have a communication issue, but the real problem often lies deeper in attachment patterns that show up when life gets stressful—like parenting, work, and the demands of daily life. One partner may crave closeness, while the other pulls back, making it feel like you’re always out of sync. But healing these patterns is possible.
With Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we’ll explore the emotional needs and fears driving your reactions. We’ll help you understand each other on a deeper level, creating a safe space where vulnerability leads to connection instead of conflict. EFT makes room for conversations that build trust and intimacy, rather than defensiveness.
Solution-Focused Therapy provides practical tools to address the here-and-now challenges like parenting disagreements, managing household responsibilities, and balancing the mental load. By combining emotional healing with actionable strategies, you’ll not only solve current issues but also build a foundation for lasting connection.
Together, we’ll help you break free from old patterns, rediscover teamwork, and create a relationship where love, support, and connection flow naturally.
What Can Be Addressed in Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy can help with a wide range of challenges, including:
Parenting and Co-Parenting Challenges: Disagreements over how to parent can lead to recurring arguments and tension. Therapy helps you align on discipline, routines, and values so you can co-parent as a team without constant conflict.
Communication Issues: Misunderstandings, frequent arguments, or feeling like you’re not being heard are common problems. We’ll work on improving active listening, expressing emotions and needs clearly, and learning to resolve conflict constructively.
Emotional Disconnection: Stress from parenting or daily life can leave you feeling distant from your partner. Therapy helps you reconnect by identifying and healing the emotional wounds driving the disconnection and creating space for deeper intimacy.
Trust Issues: Whether it’s from betrayal, broken promises, or ongoing frustrations, trust can be difficult to rebuild. Therapy provides a safe space to process past hurt, rebuild emotional security, and regain mutual respect.
Conflict Over the Mental Load: One partner often feels they’re managing the majority of household or parenting responsibilities. Therapy addresses this imbalance, helping both partners share the load fairly and reduce resentment.
Attachment Issues: Different attachment styles often lead to conflict, especially under stress. Therapy helps you understand and navigate these patterns so you can respond to each other’s emotional needs with compassion.
Intimacy and Physical Connection: Loss of physical closeness often parallels emotional disconnection. Therapy explores what’s blocking intimacy—whether it’s unresolved conflict, stress, or lack of time—and helps rebuild closeness.
Managing Financial or Lifestyle Stress: Financial disagreements or lifestyle pressures, like career changes or relocations, can strain relationships. Therapy offers practical strategies to navigate these transitions without conflict.
What to Expect
A Safe Space to Reconnect and Understand Each Other

Healing the Root Cause of Conflict
Many disagreements stem from deeper emotional wounds or attachment needs. We’ll uncover these patterns, understanding how they impact your reactions and behaviors.

Practical Tools for Real-Life Challenges
Therapy isn’t just about talking—it’s about action. You’ll gain practical strategies to manage parenting conflicts, improve communication, and balance responsibilities. Whether it’s learning how to navigate stress or set boundaries, these tools will help you maintain connection long after therapy ends.

My philosophy is that therapy should be both insightful and actionable. While we’ll explore how your past experiences influence your present, we’ll also focus on building tools you can use in the real world. I believe understanding your brain is empowering—it gives you the foundation to rewire old patterns and respond to life’s challenges with more intention and confidence.
