You Are Not Imagining This
You have had the fight about chores more times than you can count, and it still ends in a standoff, him thinking your expectations are unreasonable, you feeling like you are living with a roommate who does not care.
You are the only one thinking about what needs to get done, planning your whole day around tasks while he does whatever he feels like.
You are tired of walking on eggshells, tired of feeling rejected or blamed for wanting more, tired of wondering if you are the problem.
You are not too much. You have just been carrying this alone.

How It Works
The Partners, In Every Sense Roadmap
Nine steps across three phases, built to move you from naming the pattern to actually rebuilding partnership.
Phase 1: Get Clear on the Pattern
You will name what has actually been happening, without softening it or letting it slide.
- Name what keeps happening, without sanitizing it
- Recognize which expectations are unsaid, unfair, or outdated
- Define what partnership actually means to you
Phase 2: Repair the Damage Without Blame
You will build a fair, honest structure instead of another round of the same fight.
- Reduce the cycle of shutdowns, defensiveness, and emotional punishment
- Build a fair division of labor and be heard clearly
- Build a version of compromise you both actually believe in
Phase 3: Rebuild Connection and Attraction
You will reconnect as partners, not roommates keeping score.
- Rebuild attraction while feeling like actual partners again
- Feel valued as a full person, not a scorekeeper
- Create shared time and enjoy each other again
You are not broken. You have been operating without a shared map. This roadmap gives you one, so change stops being guesswork and starts being a plan you both follow.
Meet Angela Sloan, LCSW
I built this program from 19 years in practice and real life.
I have worked with couples navigating postpartum stress, high conflict co-parenting, ADHD - either for one/both partners or a child in the home, blended family strain, and the quiet erosion that happens when one partner carries more than they can sustain.
Most relationships do not break because people stop caring.
They break because the pattern gets louder than the love.
At Sunniva Counseling, Sunniva means sun gift, renewal. Renewal comes from telling the truth about what is happening, repairing the structure underneath it, and rebuilding partnership in a way that protects both people.
You deserve a relationship that feels shared, steady, and chosen, not endured.
Before You Book, You Probably Want to Know
What happens on the free consultation?
You will spend 45 minutes with Angela talking through what is actually going on, no pressure and no obligation either way. You will leave with a clearer picture of the pattern and whether this approach fits.
How does the program work?
Sessions follow the Partners, In Every Sense roadmap, nine steps across three phases. Most couples move through it over several months, meeting weekly or every other week depending on what is going on.
Who is this for and not for?
This is for couples who are tired of having the same fight and want a real, structured way to change it. It is not built for couples in active crisis who need emergency intervention.
What if I want to come alone, or my partner will not come?
That is completely normal, and it is fine. A lot of this work starts with one person getting clear before both partners are ready to sit down together.
Is this covered by insurance, and what does it cost?
Angela does not bill insurance directly. Cost and any reimbursement questions are covered on your free consultation, so nothing is a surprise later.
You Are Not Too Much. You Have Just Been Carrying This Alone.
The consultation is free and there is no pressure to commit. Worst case, you leave with more clarity than you had this morning.
We'll follow up within 1 business day to schedule a free 45-minute consultation, where we'll identify two or three things you can immediately do to improve your situation.
