My Approach to Helping

Do you feel confused or frustrated with one or more of your relationships? Does it seem like things used to be better and you can't figure out how they went sour? Do you sometimes feel like you'll pull your hair out trying to get the other to hear you?

Whether the struggle is with your relationship with a partner or spouse, a family member, or a friend, relationship snags hurt and can be difficult and messy to sort through. Maybe you wonder if things will ever be right in this relationship. You may question whether you're still valued.

If you've tried everything you can think of you may believe there's no hope. Counseling can help you sort through the tension and clarify what you need and want to be different. It can help you understand and interrupt patterns that replay again and again, communicate more clearly and productively, rediscover connection, and gain relief from conflict and turmoil.

While loved ones can give advice, a counselor can assist you free of value judgements and bias about how things "should" be. I'd like to help. Why not contact me at 456-7030 or lochnd@aol.com and see how I might help you turn things around?�
