About Whitney Jennings

Feel stagnant in your relationship? Can't stop fighting with your partner? Or maybe you want to strengthen your connection? You love your partner but there are still some nagging issues that get in the way of having the type of fulfilling relationship you desire. Some challenges exist that you two can’t quite agree on.

Do I have too many issues for counseling?
