Couple’s Therapy
At JK Therapy, I understand that every relationship experiences its unique set of challenges.

Whether you're facing communication breakdowns, trust issues, or other significant obstacles, I am here to guide you toward a stronger, more fulfilling partnership.
Common Challenges in Romantic Relationships
Many couples seek therapy to address a variety of prevalent issues that can strain a relationship, including:
Communication Problems: Misunderstandings, constant arguing, or a lack of effective communication can create distance and frustration between partners.
Infidelity and Trust Issues: Betrayals can severely damage the trust that is foundational to any relationship, leading to feelings of betrayal and insecurity.
Financial Strain: Disagreements over finances are a common source of conflict, potentially causing stress and resentment.
Intimacy Issues: A decline in physical or emotional intimacy can leave partners feeling disconnected and unloved.
Parenting Disagreements: Differing parenting styles and discipline strategies can lead to significant tension and discord.
Life Transitions: Major changes such as moving, career shifts, or health problems can put unexpected strain on a relationship.
Mental Health and Interpersonal Consequences
These challenges can lead to various mental health and interpersonal issues, including:
Anxiety and Depression: Persistent relationship problems can contribute to significant stress, leading to anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Low Self-Esteem: Continuous conflict or neglect can erode self-esteem, making individuals feel undervalued and unloved.
Emotional Distress: Unresolved issues can cause ongoing emotional turmoil, affecting overall well-being and daily functioning.
Social Isolation: Relationship problems can lead to social withdrawal, as individuals may feel embarrassed or unwilling to engage with friends and family.
Resentment and Anger: Unaddressed conflicts can build up over time, resulting in deep-seated resentment and anger that further erode the relationship.
