Couples Therapy

Relationships Change and Become Complicated

As a therapist who works with couples, I sometimes feel like a referee.

Couples seek therapy for many reasons – one is that they fight. Some fight daily, and some fight over an affair. Sometimes one partner feels like the other has become complacent – not only in the marriage, but around the house.

After the birth of children, the relationship changes completely.

After infidelities, the pain and thought of your loved one with someone else often rents space in your mind for a long time.

This issue might go away temporarily, but without professional help, the fight about this only gets worse.

Rejection Is Another Problem

Often, one feels like all the household chores are their responsibility, with the other person showing little or no consideration of added life responsibilities.

You might feel too tired for sex, making your partner feel rejected. Your partner may not express this rejection maturely, leading to another fight.

Those fights that once led to great make-up sex now seem to be less makeup and more fights – adding to more anger and resentment.

What Started Great Doesn’t Last

Sometimes a partner charms the other, is there for them emotionally, and shows their best self in the early stages of the relationship.

I think we all do to some extent. Once the relationship turns long-term complacency sets in. Men, I will show you how to keep your relationship alive.

If a man has sex after a fight, we often think the whole situation might be over. Women, not so fast; they often build resentment and feel dismisses even further because the issue was swept under the rug.

I will show men how to connect with their partner emotionally… Guys, this is what they want!

Women, I will educate you how a man thinks, not lose yourself in the relationship, and build that loving relationship you’ve always wanted. 

Regardless of The Problem, Couples Therapy Will Help You Two

The examples above are only a few reasons couples seek therapy from a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Raising children with two different value systems, raising a strong-willed child, communication, lack of trust, feeling like roommates, one doing all the heavy lifting, and the other not caring are just a few reasons couples seek therapy.

Regardless of your sexual orientation, having children, just getting married, or thinking of moving in together, I can show you how to have healthy fights, find common ground, and restore the joy and happiness you two shared in the beginning.

When you have an issue, both of you will know what’s worth fighting for and when to let it go. Most of the time, you’ll let it go after therapy and focus on the good your partner offers you.

Take back your marriage/relationship by setting your first appointment with me. All you’ll lose is that feeling of anger and resentment. That’s a lot.
