If human beings are hard wired to be in relationships, then why are they so difficult sometimes?

Patience. Tolerance. Acceptance. Love. These are the watchwords for relationships. How much of these characteristics do you experience with romantic partners, family members, friends, and co-workers? Does your love relationship exist with high conflict and stress? Compulsive behaviors, addictions, trauma, secrets, and betrayal hurt. They may go un-addressed or unnoticed until a crisis hits or tensions grow large. You don't need to live with this hurt or wait for crisis. Productive communication, intimacy, and sex are at the heart of relationship health. Recovery and healing bring greater joy and depth to all these areas of your life and relationships.

As human beings, we encounter the stressors of life in a variety of different ways. Whether it’s the pressure from our jobs, family conflicts, problematic dynamics in other important relationships, unrealistic expectations placed on us by society's "standards", or the internal struggle to find out who we are and where our place is in the world, our repeated unsuccessful attempts to navigate these stressors can leave us feeling stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction and disappointment. In this cycle, we can lose touch with our sense of happiness, balance and peace.

Relationships take work. My specialty and skill is working with couples on their relational issues that interfere with the love and intimacy each of you deserve and desire. Often times, withdrawn communication, personality conditions and stressors keep us from allowing vulnerability to be the cornerstone of deep connection. This is the challenge.

My side practice is mediation, as a mediator I am naturally non-bias and neutral.
