If you’re ready to improve your most important relationship, I invite you to schedule an appointment with me.
Do you and your partner want to improve your relationship, but constant arguing is eroding your bond? Small issues escalate into major fights. You feel like your partner doesn’t understand you. Even when you’re not in conflict, you aren’t connecting as a couple like you used to. You want to regain the mutual understanding, intimacy, and friendship you used to have. However, you don’t know how to stop the negative patterns. You’re in need of practical tools to communicate with empathy, prevent fights, and reconnect with each other.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
