 Marriage/Relationship Counseling
Nothing we do as adults in this century of American life is more
complicated or seeded with land mines than marriage and family
relationships. Those who have attempted to achieve and maintain any kind
of on-going intimate relationship have no doubt found that bliss can
turn to anger and regret.
Marriage and relationship counseling focuses on removing communication
barriers and blocks. As your counselor, I work to help you and your
partner make sense out of confusing emotional dynamics. At times it is
necessary to deal with relationship fears of intimacy, including sexual
intimacy, or counteract feelings of resentment.
After the pattern(s) that trouble a relationship are identified, the
task is to enable each person to see their part in the process and work
on that. Troubled couples often get into a cross-fire of blame that
rivets their focus and efforts on trying to change the other person.
That doesn't work. Only you can change you. I will make efforts in
counseling to help you get calm enough to change yourself, if you choose
to. If each person can do that, there is hope, and things in the
relationship can improve.
At times is is necessary to offer divorce and disillusionment counseling
to help a person face difficult realities concerning the termination of
a formerly cherished relationship.
