When Experience Matters
Couples Therapy
Site last published: 3/20/11
We all find ourselves feeling stuck in our intimate relationship at one time or another. We all play the blame game when we encounter blocks in our relationship, more often than we would like or than is constructive. Can that disagreement become an opportunity for an intimate conversation? Indeed, this is possible. You do not have to settle for that wall between you and your partner.
Negotiating developmental stages might be tripping you up. Losses, changes, traumas, infidelities, addictions, family of origin issues, or even work stress can create distance in your relationships or even make connection seem impossible.
An experienced therapist who will work to understand each person's perspective and yet remain objective can be invaluable in negotiating these difficult relationship issues. In my 35 years of experience as a couples therapist I have assisted many couples with many issues such as:
* Family of origin problems
* Commitment and intimacy
* Infidelity and healing
* Divorce, remarriage, and blended families
* Parenting
* Stress of caring for aging parents
* Lesbian and gay issues
* Addictions
* Depression
* Chronic illness
