Frequent arguing or conflict
Infidelity
Parenting issues
Lack of connection or intimacy
Emotional distress — anger, frustration, boredom, loneliness, hurt feelings
Life transitions — new baby, launching children, remarriage and blended families, career change, job loss, serious health issues — these all put additional stress on a relationship

How Couples Counseling Can Help

Couples Counseling starts helping the minute you and your partner make the decision to call me. The decision to seek counseling means that you are making a commitment to work on your marriage, you care about the relationship, and on some level you have hope that it can be better.

When you work with a therapist, a safe environment is established that allows you both to look at patterns of behavior, belief systems, and how your past is affecting what you do today. You will learn how to build a trusting relationship with each other that is based on a deep friendship. This will help you interact more effectively and provide you with the skills to successfully, and happily, navigate the ups and downs of being in relationship.
