You love that you come from diverse backgrounds, but you didn't expect the clashes you'd experience.   

You're trying to stay connected to your partner, but you can't seem to see eye to eye on anything. 

 

You're both feeling irritable, constantly fighting, and pulling back more than you ever have. 

You know you love each other, but lately you feel as if you don't even "like" each other. 

 

You know that it would be helpful to talk to someone, and it's hard to admit that you're at a point that you need a interracial marriage therapist to help with you with communication problems and relationship distress.

You’re tired of:

  • Struggling and having difficulty communicating with each other without it blowing up into something bigger

  • Feeling like you guys never connect and you each have very different expectations about what each partner should be contributing to the relationship

  • Not understanding one another and the language difference only makes it that much worse to understand one another

  • Feeling more like roommates, than romantic partners and feel lost as how to find your way back to one another

If you're looking for a interracial couples counseling in San Jose, CA or San Juan, PR, you're in the right place.  

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy relationship can be challenging. Couples often find themselves drifting apart due to various stressors and misunderstandings.

“To love someone fiercely, to believe in something with your whole heart, to celebrate a fleeting moment in time, to fully engage in a life that doesn’t come with guarantees – these are risks that involve vulnerability and often pain. But, I’m learning that recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.”
