You are committed to this relationship. You’re not looking for an out, but this isn’t what either of you signed up for. You don’t feel happy in your relationship and fear it is slipping through your fingers. Perhaps… you feel more like roommates than lovers. You don’t feel you can be yourself; it’s so awkward at times. You feel lonely, unable to remember the last time you had a real conversation or even laughed together. Instead, romance has become transactional, like a task on the checklist. You even question whether you are still in love and sometimes find yourself wondering if this relationship was a mistake.

One of my favorite things to do is understand how people work. This drives my treatment approach to include deep exploration of symptoms to get to the root of maladaptive patterns. I believe long term change stems from understanding and processing how one’s past is currently influencing one’s present. This includes a focus on using self-reflection and self-examination to explore and change the psychological root of emotional distress.
