Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.
In Counseling, I offer you a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can heal old wounds. Drawing upon Relational and Imago therapy, I can assist you with effective ways of communication, and finding new ways for each partner to have their personal/relational needs voiced, understood and met.
Therapy provides you the tools, the understandings, and the way to create the healthy and supportive relationship that you deserve. It is never too late to begin this healing. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if Couples Counseling is the right choice for you.
