Relationships have a way of bringing out the best and the worst in us. In the beginning you felt unconditionally loved, supported, valued and ready to take on the world as a couple. Now that your relationship has entered a deeper level, the reality of that complexity — of our individual experiences and how it shapes our way of being in relationships— has surfaced and you are up against hurdles that leave you feeling hurt, disconnected, angry, alone, and betrayed. Though it may feel hopeless, with support and tools it can be an amazing opportunity for personal and relational growth.

I see your relationship as my client and take its side. I strive to understand both of your experiences and explore how they are impacting you as a unit. With insight, empathy, compassion, and a little bit of humor, we will focus on ways to more effectively communicate with one another, identify and safely share feelings and needs, connect and work together as a team to nurture your relationship, improve emotional and sexual intimacy, support each other as individuals, and find strategies to maintain and grow your bond.

In reconnecting couples through improving communication skills, resolving problems and strengthening intimacy, I focus on helping partners to better understand one another, to communicate more effectively and to make small specific agreements. I will ask about your goals as a couple and help each of you to express your feelings and needs more clearly. I will also support you in becoming emotionally attuned to one another which is crucial for a lasting and loving connection.
