Discernment Counseling

Should I stay or should I go?

You have a lot riding on this decision. This is about more than just your relationship. The life you have built is on the line.

There are enough “good reasons” for staying. It is not “all” bad. Yet, the pain is real. At times, things are “that bad.”

Intertwined emotions and opposing thoughts – it’s gut-wrenching.

“I love my partner” and “I can’t go on like this,” or “I love my kids and can’t put them through this.” These thoughts stay tangled in your mind.

“If I just knew the right decision…”

Any decision feels like the wrong decision. Decision fatigue is real and nearly paralyzing.

The tightness in your chest, the heaviness of emotions, and exhaustion are constant.

How will your decision impact your life, your family, and your future?

There are not many people you trust to be fully honest. Some people, even those closest to you, don’t know how bad things have gotten. If they do know, they don’t understand how to help.

Friends and family are well-intentioned, but sometimes talking with them just seems to make things worse.

Relying on your wisdom, spiritual guidance, self-help books, and maybe even previous therapy has not made a difference.

Staying in the same relationship is not an option. Yet you don’t want to leave. Repeating “this relationship” in the future is NOT what you want for your life.

Options are on the table.

I can help you move forward with healing to build the future relationship of your dreams.

I can help you break up with respect for all involved.

I can help you stay together if both are willing to try couples counseling.

Building a safe, connected, vulnerable, passionate, and fun relationship must be a choice.

The decision is scary because you could be rejected and exciting because you can also be accepted.

Individual or couples therapy are options.

If you are looking for someone to tell you what to do, you’re in the wrong place.

You have come to the right place if you welcome empathy, nonjudgment, safety, and a professional guide to help you not return to old patterns and find the pathway forward.

Relationships are complex. I am going to listen longer to help you feel understood.

Regardless, we will slow down the thoughts, emotions, and interactions occurring.

SAFETY IS THE PRIORITY, as we increase your awareness, learn effective tools, and gain skills to help you find the pathway forward.

You’re not alone. You’re capable of having the relationship of your dreams. It just won’t happen by accident.

Schedule a free consultation, and let’s start helping you find the pathway forward.
