The one that tells you you’re not good enough or smart enough and says things you would never dream of saying to another person. Now you may […]

Life comes at you fast. It seems one minute you’re avoiding eye contact with your parents as they awkwardly tell you about the birds and the bees, and the next minute? You’re “of an age” where you are not considered a sexual being anymore. That’s right, as soon as you hit the big 5-0, you […]

Tears, tension, hurt, anger and guarded hope fill my office when couples arrive after learning of an affair. Each situation is unique, but the intensity and fragility of emotions are often extremely powerful. After an affair, feelings of guilt, betrayal, and distrust permeate the connection.

If you’re feeling, distant, lonely or lacking sexual desire, try to take action quickly. The greatest obstacle to improving relationship problems is waiting too long. It’s a lot easier to lose 10 or 15 lbs. than 40 or 50. Small problems and concerns are more quickly corrected than long-term distresses. Couples often hesitate bringing problems […]
