30 years providing... Couples Therapy... Marriage Counseling.... PreMarital Counseling. When good love slides into bad patterns I can help you communicate, reduce anger & improve intimacy. It's frustrating when love gets out of sync. Learn how to diffuse resentments, lower tensions & solve problems together more smoothly. Need to rejuvenate your connection? We'll work together as you reduce arguments, increase cooperation & stop power struggles. Sessions are a safe, neutral atmosphere designed to reduce your stress & distractions, allowing you to focus on what's important to you & your partner.
You'll feel emotional relief knowing that you have an experienced Couples Therapist working with you to generate positive results for your relationship. I look forward to your email. Best wishes and warmest regards. Laressa Desmond PhD LMFT
