Couples Therapy in Colorado Springs, CO

Couples Counseling

Relationships are key to our well-being, but what do you do when things just don't match up anymore? Getting support from a couples therapist can help put things in perspective and offer the clarity you need to navigate challenging moments.

At Black Bold and Learning Therapy in the Springs, I work with couples who want to reconnect, improve communication, and develop healthier relationship dynamics.

Whether you're dealing with communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, or relationship stress from external pressures, I am here to guide you through the process of understanding each other more deeply, setting healthy boundaries, and restoring emotional intimacy.

Let's Talk!

Who I Work With As a Couples Therapist

I work with couples of all kinds who are facing different challenges in their relationships. If you are experiencing:

Communication struggles or emotional distance
Family stress or navigating complicated family dynamics
Conflict around boundary setting and respecting each other’s needs
Life changes, stress, or external pressures affecting your relationship
Trauma, PTSD, or unresolved emotional wounds impacting your connection

I can support you in addressing these challenges and help you strengthen your partnership. You don’t have to face these difficulties alone—couples therapy provides the tools and strategies needed to foster a healthy, sustainable relationship.

My Approach to Couples Therapy in Colorado

I take an integrative and relational approach to therapy, meaning I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities to best meet the unique needs of you and your partner. Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a key framework I utilize, along with other therapies that can be tailored to your needs. These include:

The Gottman Method: Developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman, the Gottman Method focuses on strengthening the friendship between partners and managing conflict constructively. It incorporates techniques like the “Four Horsemen” (negative behaviors to avoid) and helps couples build healthy communication patterns, emotional support, and intimacy.
Emotional Regulation: In relationships, managing your emotions effectively is critical. I help couples understand their emotional responses and learn how to regulate their emotions during difficult conversations, reducing conflict and increasing understanding.
Effective Communication: Communication is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. I work with couples to enhance listening skills, express needs and desires without blame, and foster an environment of mutual respect.
Boundary Setting: Clear and respectful boundaries are essential for healthy relationships. I guide couples in learning how to set and respect boundaries to ensure both partners feel valued and heard.
Values-Based Work: Understanding your personal values and aligning them as a couple is key to building a strong foundation. I assist couples in uncovering and aligning their values, which helps foster a sense of purpose and shared goals.
Attachment and Trauma Work: For couples dealing with complex trauma, PTSD, or childhood neglect, I incorporate tools from CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), Somatic Experiencing, and mindfulness-based practices to address emotional wounds and rebuild trust.

Why Try Couples Therapy?

Even in healthy relationships, challenges will arise. Couples therapy can help you work through these moments and provide tools for long-term relationship health. Therapy is particularly helpful when:

Communication Isn’t Working: Feeling misunderstood or having a hard time expressing your needs to your partner.
Emotional Distance: Not feeling as connected or intimate as you once did.
Boundary Issues: Struggling with maintaining healthy boundaries or not feeling respected.
Family Struggles: Navigating complex family dynamics that affect your relationship.
Stress and Trauma: Feeling overwhelmed by external stressors or unresolved trauma impacting your relationship.

Addressing these issues with professional support can help you rebuild a foundation of trust, intimacy, and respect.
