My Approach to Helping

Are you wondering what happened to the person you dated and fell in love with? Do you find yourself frustrated with the lack of communication and caring in your marriage? Has your relationship become something completely different from what you anticipated or expected? Do you find yourself thinking, "Can my marriage be saved?" You have already made efforts to communicate better, yet it seems the two of you have become more like oil and water than two people who claim to love each other. Is a thought that comes to your mind, "Would seeing a professional make it possible for us to change?”

Or maybe the unthinkable has happened...an affair. The hurt and betrayal is like someone has ripped your heart right out of your chest. “Will we be able to ever trust each other again?” “Will I be able to forgive?” You are confused and not sure if your marriage can be rebuilt or if you even want to put the work into recreating something new. And yet, as crazy as it seems, you really do want to stay married. You love your spouse! Is there hope for your marriage? The answer is YES.

Developing and maintaining a healthy, romantic, and intimate relationship takes much more work than you expected. Yet you know and dream about a connection that is mutually fulfilling and deeply satisfying. It IS possible to have a long-lasting and meaningful relationship with your life partner. Many of us simply do not know how to live relationally with one another, but this way of relating can be learned. Call me to schedule your free phone consultation to learn how your marriage can become a place of profound peace and satisfaction.

Imagine you and your spouse going through a whole day, maybe even a week, without miscommunication, misunderstandings, or any significant conflict! Think of a time in the near future when you will have the skills to resolve the conflicts that naturally come up in a respectful and loving way without guilt, shame, arguments, or manipulation. Imagine the two of you enjoying pleasant conversation as you share your days, thoughts, dreams, and lives together. This can be your reality. We can work together toward the fulfilling, mature, and loving relationship you desire.
