Living with a partner is a complicated mix of positives and negatives. While intimate relationships often foster closeness and shared experiences, they can also cause pain and disappointment. When partners have been together for some time, they tend to get embroiled in repetitive conflicts and blame one another for their problems. Sexual intimacy often decreases as well, leaving each person feeling alone and misunderstood.

If your relationship is no longer a source of pleasure and support, couples counseling can help. In the sessions, which are usually attended by both partners, I will evaluate your relationship and explore its strengths and weaknesses. I will determine how each of you contributes to the conflicts and the problems. Then I will work with you, as a couple, to improve your communication, resolve conflicts, and develop ways to reconnect emotionally and physically.
