Are you tired of feeling frustrated or hurt in your relationship? Do you have the same argument over and over with your partner but yet things never seem to change? You may blame each other or speak with sarcasm or defensiveness when you talk. It's easier sometimes to just avoid the hard conversations but then the problem never gets solved and you're left feeling unheard. Maybe you walk on eggshells because you can't be honest about your true feelings. Or perhaps your connection has grown stale over time and the passion just isn't there anymore. You'd love to have deeper emotional intimacy and exciting sex with the one you love.
Hey there, I'm Tristan. I help my clients improve their communication, connect emotionally, and build sexual confidence so they can have more satisfying intimate relationships. If you and your partner are looking for some help, you're in the right place. In addition to weekly therapy, I also offer extended sessions and Couples Therapy Intensives.
You love your partner and value this relationship - you just need a little help breathing new life into it. I'm ready to get started. Visit my website at www.mcbaincounseling.com to schedule your free phone consultation, learn about Couples Therapy Intensives, and more!
