Marriage Counseling

We all want happy marriages. When our marriages are working, we have a secure base to operate from; we feel better equipped to handle life's other challenges. When things go wrong in our marriages, everything can feel out of balance.

It can be hard to accept when marriage problems arise. We love our spouses; we know there was once a different, better time in our relationship. And so we wait and hope for things to improve, to return the way they used to be. When things don't change, when situations worsen, frustration and disappointment mount. How did this happen? What can we do?

I have worked with many couples desiring a restored and renewed relationship. Through marriage counseling I can help you recognize and work toward resolving the underlying issues contributing to the problems in your marriage. Together we'll work to open the lines of communication between you and your spouse. Marital therapy can teach you to understand one another in new ways.

As your marriage counselor, I can help you and your partner address such problems as:

• Relationship Stagnation
• Loss of Intimacy
• Stresses of Family Life
• Chronic Arguing
• Difficult Transitions for Blended Families

Together we will discover ways for you and your spouse to address your present problems while developing skills for handling possible future issues. Learn how to communicate more effectively, gain a fresh perspective, and nurture your relationship. Participating in marriage therapy is a constructive way to learn to resolve your differences, develop your relationship, and meet individual and couple goals. Become a team again. I'm here to help. Contact me today to discover how marital counseling can improve your marriage.
