"Now you will feel no rain,

for each of you will be shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold,

for each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,

for each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two persons,

but there is only one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life together,

and may your days be good and long upon the earth.

- Native American Blessing

Couples Therapy strives to restore the trust, intimacy, and partnership of common goals that once held the promise of your desired relationship. As a couple you seek an inner union with one another, and this journey encompasses many facets of relationship - personal security, romantic togetherness, financial stability, playing together, the responsibility of parenting, career development, and simply living well through the daily issues that you share. Accepting change as an essential part of the therapeutic process enables a couple to become more skilled in seeing "the view through the other's eyes," and acknowledging that alternative view, can evoke many positive qualities such as courage, tenderness, and flexibility. Through the Relational Model of Psychotherapy, the therapist guides the couple in developing practical strategies for living more fully satisfying lives - from simply meeting the demands of daily schedules, to enhancing the deepest reaches of each other's heart. Positive self-expression deepens relationships and helps one endure the stresses of complicated living. We invite you to explore your relationship with us, so that "your days together may be good and long upon the earth".
