When a relationship is off track or out of alignment, you can begin to wonder if it is even worth it any more. You're longing for her to reach out and touch you - just a hug even - but she doesn't seem to even notice you arrived home. She's clearly frazzled - the kids are yelling and who knows what kind of day she had at work.
She's probably exhausted, so you decide to lovingly rub her shoulders. Rage and hurt bubble up inside you. You don't say anything because the kids are right there, but a part of you wants to do something spiteful. Another part wants to close off, just go away. The next few days things slowly improve, but you feel like you're walking on eggshells.

We believe your relationship is meaningful - it has depth to it. Even if you've been mired in conflict or distance for years, you're here now because you want something REAL. We take this seriously and know you need more than a few simple tools or "communication skills" to get the job done.
The type of therapy we do here at the Salt Lake Relationship Center is different because we teach you how to be your true self and be accepted by your partner while doing so.We first help you identify your desires and needs so you can communicate these openly and honestly. This involves digging deep to understand what really makes you think, feel, and behave the way you do.

Whatever a genuine life looks like for you, my goal is to help you reach it. Of course, you have social, family, and emotional pressures that hold you back from being the person you truly want to be. My job is to serve as your supportive and collaborative guide in finding YOUR life, interacting in the way you want, doing the things that most matter to you.
You're likely feeling stuck and overwhelmed. You may be dealing with a situation you can't get out of, feelings you can't get past, or a relationship conflict you can't handle. It's my job to create a safe and sacred space to help you work through these areas in your life and relationships, to feel more peace.
In fact, underneath it all, you're hiding anxiety, shame, or depression. You are a mess, like you don't deserve what you have. You've worked hard to do all the "right" things in life - and you know rationally you're outwardly successful. In the past, you've always been able to put your head down and just keep working harder to make things feel better.
When we get married, we dream of a bright future and hope to make ourselves better people. We imagine a long life of love, support, and happiness. When these dreams start breaking apart with poor communication, bitter fighting, distance, and lack of trust, we wonder if it's even worth it. He used to love having sex.

I am writing to provide my professional endorsement for the Salt Lake Relationship Center. I was a professor of counseling psychology at the University of Utah for 23 years. Brigg Noyes, the Director of the SL Relationship Center, was my student and he was also a post-doctoral trainee/fellow under my supervision at the Salt Lake City Veteran's Administration Medical Center. My view of Brigg is that he has become an exceptional therapist with particular expertise in relationship counseling. I am confident of his skills and his knowledge in this area. I wouldn't hesitate to refer someone, even one
