Do Happy Couples Make You Jealous, Angry, and Sad (depending on the day)?

You feel so alone in your own marriage and relationship. It’s exhausting. You see couples that are happy and question why can’t that be you. And….Sex. Ugh, sex. You wish you had more of it or you are wondering when did it become a commodity in your relationship so that if you have sex your partner will be nicer to you or you will finally get something done around the house that you were begging them to do over the past month. You wonder how you ever got to this point.

In the beginning, sex was so much fun. Free. Intimate. And now it feels like a transaction. Filling in a checkbox on your to-do list. Or you remember when you had so much sex and now there is none. Initiating just feels like rejection, so you just don't do it anymore. You long for intimacy not just physically but emotionally as well.

You Feel Hopeless in Your Relationship.

You are starting to feel that you will never regain what you had at the beginning of your marriage. You feel alone, invisible, and not seen by your partner. You constantly wish that they would just get you! And say all the right things to you.

We want to dive deep. In our process of working with couples, we do a 2-hour intake session, so we can really get a feel for what brought you into counseling in the first place. We blend a number of different research-based methods and use a few powerful assessments that can give you a sense of your strengths and growth areas.

We also love to give homework because we know you need to interact with the material more than just once in the session to really master the new skills you are learning.

It is important to us that you feel comfortable and safe. Also, while we know we are the trained experts in the room, we don't come from a place of judgment or a know-it-all mentality. We know that you know yourselves and your relationship a lot better than we do.

We do try to use our expertise to slow down the conversations so that both of you can feel safe enough to feel what you are feeling and to share it with your partner. We know it is at those times when you will experience the greatest connection. And there is nothing like the feeling of true connection with your partner!

We also love to laugh!

While we take the service of counseling seriously, we also know that laughter can be a necessary break from the deeper work.
