Welcome to Uplift and Connect Counseling

Because Great Relationships and Marriages Take Effort

Are you stuck in the Roommate Zone with your partner? Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to break the cycle? You're not alone. Many couples find themselves in this place, where daily routines and responsibilities overshadow the love and connection that once thrived.

I often feel like I am not a priority in my partner’s life. Like I am here taking care of so many things while my partner is over there doing, well, I’m not even sure what they are doing. We are so exhausted at night after working and then taking care of the kiddos that there is no energy left for me or my partner. We might veg-out on the couch together but that doesn’t feel like connecting. I feel lonely. I feel like each day is about survival to get to the next day to do it alone, all over again.

Sound familiar? Wanting to break that cycle and get back to a loving and supportive relationship? I get it!
