“Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.” – Barbara De Angelis
While we love being in love -- we also know intimate relationships take a lot of effort.
The stresses of everyday life can put a huge strain on a relationship, which may lead to resentment, intimacy issues, lack of trust, miscommunication, or infidelity.
We often begin our relationships by handling the minor issues and misunderstandings. As time goes on, these issues could build up and become more serious. This could lead to more unhealthy conflict, which may cause our closeness and sense of emotional safety to erode.
Couples often seek counseling when they desire more effective communication skills, the relationship may be at a standstill, or if they may be unsure whether or not the relationship is worth salvaging. You will be invited into a process designed to promote intimacy and connection between you and your partner.
Couples counseling allows couples to express themselves in a safe environment with a trusted and supportive professional. With both partners communicating more effectively, relational conflicts can begin to subside, and you can feel more connected. Couples are to compliment each other, not duplicate each other.
