Factors of everyday life can put an abundant strain on a relationship. Severe stressors may include resentment, infidelity, intimacy issues, lack of trust, and miscommunication. When problems go unresolved, or a partner is suffering from mental illness or health complications, one can feel helpless or have feelings of guilt or shame. Communicating effectively on both parts can alleviate emotional anxiety from subjects of all kind.
I focus on reconnecting intimacy by improving communication, identifying resentments held by the couple and guiding couple to individually work on releasing resentments while helping the couple to create a safe and supportive space within the relationship to do so. Working with the couple to develop their own recipe for marriage success is the ultimate goal for treatment of marital discord. A couple might come into therapy looking to figure out if it is even worth it to continue or work on the relationship. As part of the team with the couple, I work to develop a safe place for each person to explore whether it is time to work on the relationship or time to work on separating from the relationship. For questions how therapy with me will support your relationship needs, please give me a call at 732 737 1224 for a free 10- minute phone consult.
When a relationship is showing signs of addiction, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or severe depression, seek guidance from a counselor immediately, for your safety and your partner.
