No, this is not all there is for you. You are suffering for reasons that can be identified and resolved in psychotherapy. If you could have figured it out on your own, you would have already, because you have really tried to. You do not need "coping strategies" or suggestions or other superficial band aids for your pain, you need to understand what about you is functioning well and what isn't, and to develop the self-awareness and self-knowledge that will get you out of this situation into the life you want to live.

I'm a clinical counselor offering specialized relationship counseling. Couples say they fight about money, sex, and parenting. In my experience, the issues run deeper than that. If you're looking for a couples therapist, the chances are high that your relationship may already be in crisis. If you're a bit more insightful, you may not yet be there. Frequently feeling anger towards your partner, lack of intimacy, fighting, and avoidance are all signs that it's time for counseling. Couples therapy is not a bitch session, but rather a safe place to lay it all out on the table and hash through the muck. It's worth the investment!

It makes perfect sense that you're feeling this way. This is unprecedented. 2020 has been identified as a time of "collective trauma". We are experiencing similar anxiety provoking circumstances: crisis of health, loss of income, uncertainty, isolation, guilt and death. Divorce rates are up. Addiction statistics are sky rocketing. We're in the middle of experiencing trauma and many of us can't recognize the symptoms. And if we do, we feel hopeless and helpless. We're not. We need connection. We need to be reminded of our shared and personal humanity. Whatever is troubling you, you've done this alone for long enough. I can help you.

You likely have burning questions about your love life. Singles ask: how can I make my Bumble profile stand out? Should I prioritize compatibility or chemistry with potential partners? How do I start over after divorce ? Dating + engaged couples ask: should we move in together? Why does she still talk about her ex? Is this guy husband-material? Married spouses ask: why do we keep having the same fight? Is it wrong that I'm attracted to other people? What happened to our sex life? Poly partners ask: are we doing this right? Should we meet each other's partners? How do I handle jealousy?

You feel stuck: confused, frustrated, & exhausted.You're worn down by the mixed signals, conflicts, no-win situations, lies, manipulations, & ethical dilemmas. Whether you're exhausted by negotiations with a difficult partner, a high-conflict divorce or co-parenting dynamic, an entanglement with a disordered parent, adult child, or sibling/s, or are looking for strategies for recovering from toxic relationships, you need competent, experienced support deeply familiar with coercive control and gas-lighting. You need a therapist who gets it. You believe your life can be better. You believe you deserve to be treated well. So do I.
