Next Steps?
Couples counseling can work wonders in a relationship helping each partner to see the other’s perspective and empowering a couple to adopt positive and loving-affirming habits that meet each other's needs. When working with couples I use attachment theory and normally see marked improvement in the first three months of treatment. Most couples wait too long before they make the first call choosing to remain stuck in an unfullfilling relationship. Give your relationship the priority it deserves and schedule an appointment today.
