Arguments or silence: You and your spouse or partner have just had another argument. Or the silences are growing louder – you’re both withdrawing.

You’ve thought about counseling…but only really troubled people go to therapists, right?

Calling a therapist may seem like the beginning of the end, but it can be the start of renewal.

Relationship counseling is the start of rebuilding what you had, or redefining what you need. And communicating in ways that move you toward mutual understanding. You can learn ways to hear each other.

• Communication
  • “We just don’t talk anymore”
  • “All our talks end in fights”
  • “We see the cycle we’re stuck in, we just don’t know how to change it”
• Emotional Distance
  • “We’re roommates”
  • “We have parallel lives”
  • “I think my spouse/partner is having an affair”
  • “I’m tempted to have an affair”
• Transitions
  • “I am doing everything since the baby came”
  • “I’ve been ignored since the baby arrived”
  • “We can’t agree on anything when it comes to parenting”
• Trauma
  • “My spouse/partner gets SO mad SO fast”
  • “Something that happened in the past is affecting us now”
  • “My spouse/partner hasn’t been the same since…the ( accident ) or ( illness ) or ( deployment ) or ( suddenly losing a loved one )”

The decision to begin therapy is the hardest step – now that you have decided to contact someone for help with your relationship, talk with prospective therapists to get a sense of your comfort level with each one.

When you contact me, we will begin with a telephone intake to discuss your current situation and the changes you hope for. We’ll consider how therapy here may help you.

You are welcome to contact me anytime – I return calls and emails promptly and reliably, and will call you back no later than the next business day.
