“You never listen to me!”

“You never say anything worth listening to!”

does this sound like a familiar argument between you and your partner? Studies show that nine out of ten couples rate their relationships as anywhere from dissatisfactory to miserable. 

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Making a relationship work is a skill, and a skill needs to be learned.  Counseling, either individually or as a couple, can teach the communication skills that are necessary for a healthy and satisfying partnership.  Other relationship pitfalls are when past negative patterns creep into the present.  This can find you getting hurt and re-hurt by consistently choosing the wrong partner and /or choosing a partner that resembles a difficult parent, which in turn can open up old wounds.  Everyone deserves to be in a relationship that adds more joy to his or her life. 

we can work it out by talking it out, and together we can uncover exactly what needs to be listened to and what needs to be said.
