Couples Counseling
What happened to the flame?
Ahhhhh… romantic sunset with your spouse or partner. The view. The breezes. The ambiance.
Yes.
Silence. Stress. Awkwardness. Tension. Or worse… Boredom. Frustration. Confusion. Dread.
No.
How did this happen? What’s going on? What happened to the spark? The flame?
Seems like only yesterday you couldn’t wait to get together. Nothing else mattered. Hours passed like seconds when you were together and like weeks when you had to be apart.
You felt so connected, so attracted, so… right.
How did you get HERE?
You can’t believe it.
One minute you knew each other better than anyone else – you were soul mates. The next, you’re staring at a screen full of pictures, emails, and texts… from someone else.
Spark found. You can feel it in the words, you can sense it between the lines, between the smiles.
What went wrong? What did you do? What was he or she thinking?
How can you ever trust again?
It’s off the table.
Talking about your concerns, needs, future, kids, money, or sex isn’t even an option between you two anymore. Is this even normal? It can’t be, can it?
You two are a team. You manage the house, the kids, and work like pros.
But every night, you wonder: Am I still in love?
Until it’s not.
“How many times do we have to argue about this?” you wonder on your way to work after the latest round.
You’re tired of hearing it’s nothing. Don’t worry. It didn’t mean anything. It’s inconsequential. It’s not a problem – but only because it’s not a problem for him/her.
But it IS. Yes. It IS a problem.
Why do we keep arguing about the same issues again and again and again?
Stress, history of abuse and trauma, work, kids, family matters, health issues, financial difficulties, and cultural differences, among others, affect the stability of relationships.
If you don’t address your issues properly, you may end up engaging in destructive patterns of communication that can drive you further apart.
Don’t let this happen.
Don’t wait for the words break-up, divorce, or separation to do something about it.
I’m here to help you and your significant other to reconnect – to make changes that will help you communicate more effectively. To be loving to each other while honoring what’s important to both of you.
Let’s work together.
In couples therapy, you’ll learn to overcome the difficulties mentioned above and more.
You’ll exchange hurtful patterns of communication for more loving, respectful, effective ones.
You’ll start a new chapter in your relationship.
So, what are you waiting for?
Make an appointment. Let the sparks fly. Reclaim your relationship today.
