Helping Men Find Real Solutions to Fix their Relationships
How can I get my relationship back on track?
You can’t handle the constant fighting anymore. You’re at your breaking point, going from being frustrated beyond your limit to numb and hopeless.
You feel misunderstood, how did you become the bad guy?
You try so hard to keep it all together, but your partner just keeps pushing you, it’s almost like they want you to explode. They tell you they just want you to listen to their feelings, but all you hear is criticism, complaints, and disrespect.
Somehow, you went from being her hero, to the enemy. Your partner doesn’t even appreciate all you do for your family.
Home has become a battlefield
After work, you sit in your car just trying to get yourself to go home and face her. You knew there would be another argument. Home used to be a safe place but now it feels like a battlefield.
You’re not ready to give up on your relationship
You've tried couples counseling but you felt man-bashed in sessions. You're totally baffled as what to do next. There has been talk of separating, possibly divorce, but even though things are bad between you both, you don't want that for you, your kids or your family.
You want to be a good role model to your children
You stress out constantly about what type of impact you are making on your children when you blow up or shut down and avoid. You don’t want them to see you like this.
You want to be a better man, partner, husband, and father.
It’s frustrating that you can’t change your partner, or ex-partner, but as an Acceptance and Commitment Therapist, I offer you new ways to get unstuck, so you no longer get defensive or try to win the battle of arguments when your partner talks to you:
Change your communication approach (so you can feel understood, heard, and valued)
Understand your partner’s perspective, so you can better meet their needs while taking care of your own.
Manage your anger so you don’t lash out and can feel proud of how you interact with your partner
I can help guide you towards changing your relationship even if couples counseling, co-parenting counseling or court-appointed counseling hasn’t worked for you. I have helped many men find the strength to be in control when life feels out of control.
Imagine being proud of your behavior in your family despite all your stressors and knowing that you are modeling your values to your children and your family.
Yes, I can help and look forward to working with you.
