Feeling Emotionally            Unable to Resolve            Living Parallel            Lacking Sexual
   Disconnected?                     Differences?                      Lives?                      Intimacy?

If you're going over the same problems again and again without resolution, it might be time to meet with a couples or marriage counselor.

During 14 years of practice, my emphasis on couples and marriage counseling has resulted in the approach outlined below: 

Phase 1: We'll examine and practice with communication tools needed to create a more positive relationship environment.  This will include learning more about reactivity in difficult conversations and ways to reduce defensiveness and increase effectiveness and positive connection. 

Phase 2: We'll explore the history of this current relationship, what brought you together and what has led to distance and dissatisfaction over the years.  As we identify contributing factors and events, we'll work to heal the wounds and in that process increase intimacy and trust. 

Phase 3: We'll also explore earlier relationships, especially those from your childhood and the influences of those formative experiences.  We'll look at you how you came to see yourself as you grew up and the relationship style you developed in those early years.  Along the way, we'll work to heal any childhood wounds in an effort to increase your personal and relationship happiness.
  
Go ahead and contact me. We'll schedule a free 30 minute in-office consultation to discuss your situation and how therapy could help.
