DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- Conversations quickly turn into conflict.
- You feel more like roommates than partners.
- Trust has been hurt, and rebuilding feels overwhelming.
- The same arguments keep repeating.
- One or both of you have stopped sharing what you really feel.
Many couples find themselves caught in these painful patterns. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin rebuilding connection – one conversation at a time.
Meet Sumith G. Unni, AMFT
