KIM Romen

Marriage and relationships are difficult and complicated. We bring into relationships presumptions, expectations, our own issues, and see through a filter of what the world has taught us through our past experiences. Throw kids into the mix and things get even more complicated.

I am a firm believe that most marriages can get through anything if both partners make an effort and are willing to look at their own faults, not just their spouse’s wrongs. It can be extremely hard work to get through certain things like infidelity and hurtful and engrained patterns, but it can be harder for couples who don’t make an effort, don’t have the satisfaction tornknow they tried, and end in divorce, especially when children are involved. Even if a couple decides not to stay together, if issues aren’trnworked through, the chances of continuing in the same patterns in another relationship are very high and statistics show that even more second marriages end in divorce than do first marriages. It’s usually easier to heal the first marriage than to start, again and often times challenges of involving stepchildren or custody issues.

While the success of the marriage is up to you and your partner, if you choose me as your therapist, I will fight very hard along side of you, encouraging you to stick it out when itrnseems most difficult. I won’t push my values on you, but I will remind you of statistics and help you see all sides. Many of my clients have said things like they would’ve started counseling sooner if they would’ve known the benefits and outcome. You’ve found a therapist that is passionate about relationships. Don’t wait another day. Give me a call.
