This is not typical marriage counseling that you may have already tried.  This is highly specialized relationship intervention with or without your partner's immediate participation.  My laser-like focus

is on stopping the present damage (the love-killing "process of disaffection"),  preserving what positive ties remain,  identifying the emotional wounds (past/present hurt and resentment), and planning a strategy (short and long-term) for relationship recovery and rebuilding, fully accepting that each partner (whether living together or separated) is in a very different emotional place with very different present needs.   My dedication is to explore and create pathways to greater love  and relationship satisfaction.  I don't judge or make marital death pronouncements.  You are free to leave the work whenever you wish, however, I am unrelentingly committed to making relationships work.

This is often seen as "11th hour and 59th minute" rescue work by the partner who is most

interested in saving the relationship.  If this is YOU, we want to rapidly understand HOW 

you have contributed to the relationship difficulties and WHAT you can now do from day

to day to emotionally soften your partner, demonstrate your ability/willingness to change,

and to STOP doing more emotional damage.  This last point can not be emphasized enough.             You must rapidly learn how and when to emotionally connect with your partner, and how to love  your partner the way she (or he) wishes to be loved.  Your partner may not feel "in love" with you    

at this time.  It may seem hopeless, but your job now is to put your own happiness aside as you show your partner that you are making permanent and positive personal changes that can be trusted to  build a better relationship in the future.  Mistakes at this time are very costly.  Let me guide you through this treacherous and unforgiving emotional terrain and assist you in your self-change goals.

If you are the disaffected partner following months or years of having your emotional needs

largely ignored, you may have buried your hurt and resentment from feeling uncared about

or even betrayed by your partner.  You may feel like you have been the only one working on the relationship while your partner has been taking you for granted.  You may be tired of the emotional

roller coaster.  There are so many things to consider aside from your own happiness.  There

is so much at stake.  You know you don't want things going back to the way they were, plus

you don't want to give your partner false hope for reconciliation.  You may feel better in some

ways yet worse in others.    During this time I can be there for you and with you to sort it all out.
