When at their best, our intimate relationships help us grow as individuals. They fulfill us, challenge our boundaries, and uncover strengths we never knew we had.
What about when things aren’t at their best? When communication gets stuck? When you and your partner cannot seem to connect? When tenderness is overtaken by bitterness? Instead of turning toward the other for comfort, you turn away in self-protection?
Once in this cycle of criticism and blame, we can lose touch with what originally drew us to our partner. Negative interactions outweigh the positive, and we start wondering if there’s any hope of getting back on track.
Perhaps this is where you find yourself in your marriage or relationship. Perhaps things are pretty good and you want to make sure they stay that way.
In couples counseling, we will work together to improve your communication and relationship skills. I welcome those in poly and open relationships and same-sex couples. LGBTQIA-affirming; secular (non-religious) pre-marital counseling available.
