Marriage & Relationship Counseling

“A rolling stone carries no moss” – Where did that saying come from? You might also ask – what does that have to do with marriage and relationships?

Healthy relationships are alive in the present moment.

There are those that propose – live in the present, forget the past and move on.  That is a simplistic, ineffective approach to problem solving.  The part of us that has been hurt by another – continues to live within us afraid of being hurt again. The protective edge that develops between two people erodes the intimate aspects of a relationship, leaving it painful, sterile and contrived. Pain that remains unexpressed sits there, growing a protective covering that keeps partners separate and alone.

Relationship counseling is not about dredging up old stuff. It is about looking back long enough to understand the emotional patterns within a relationship that led to painful encounters.  Once relational patterns are understood and new ways to be together established the inner parts of us that were hurt and remain vulnerable relax.

Families, couples, friends, partners become free to enjoy one another.
