Are you and your partner having the same argument on repeat? Has the intimacy and romance been replaced with distance and frustration? Seemingly little things become explosive arguments. And trying to talk about it leads to more conflict. Worse yet, the distance and disconnection is deafening. The unresolved issues are getting worse, and you are left feeling exhausted, invalidated, and alone. Every passing day feels like one step closer to your breaking point. Your family means everything to you and you worry it's taking a toll on your kids. You want more than anything to reconnect with your partner and finally feel heard.
It's time for a relationship upgrade! I have more than 20 years of experience working with couples and families. I also have extensive post-graduate training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT), Internal Family Systems (in process of IFS certification), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
Whether you're looking to improve communication, reduce conflict, reignite the intimacy and connection, or working toward repair after infidelity - I'm here to help. Let's get started - call me today!
