Creating a sustaining loving relationship requires couples to consciously negotiate mutually agreeable expectations as well make reasonable accommodations for each other.

Falling in love is a natural process, blending our emotions with physical and chemical responses. But sustaining a caring relationship requires more than having warm caring feelings. Important components of a partnership include mutual respect, affection, a sense of goodwill, emotional safety, persistence, humor, honesty, and motivation.
Life can be like a roller coaster -- a thrill ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. When your life takes a downward turn, you may find yourself overwhelmed in dealing with seemingly impossible issues possibly including an unhappy relationship; a relationship that ended without warning; difficulty making new friends; feeling generally inadequate; loneliness; mounting pressures at work; and/or headaches that won't go away.
I've assisted hundreds of individuals and couples to learn how to overcome adversity, reduce distress, learn better-coping strategies, make healthier decisions, and take positive action to have a satisfying life. With twelve years of college and more than 35 years of counseling experience, I've dedicated my life to helping clients increase their happiness.

Money well spent. Husband was skeptical of the process and doubted how much progress could be made.
He says "Joan exceeded my expectations, and not only helped put our broken home back together, but better. We are more connected and understand each other more than ever before."
You can see a novice many times at a lower hourly rate, or an absolute expert to save time and money.
If you're reading this, you are in the right place! Don't wait to call. The schedule is always booked!
