If any of these make some days a struggle or keep you from enjoying life, I'd like to invite you to talk with someone with compassion who can appreciate your struggle.
COUPLES - At some point, many partners find themselves stuck in cycles of negative interactions which keep them drifting apart, robbing them of the happiness and intimate connection they once felt. My desire is to help couples identify those frustrations and transform them into moments of understanding, healing, and greater intimacy.
