About
Do you feel like you’re not being heard by your partner? Or not appreciated? Is there an issue surrounding a lack of faithfulness, money, being a parent, the in-laws, or work? Or maybe you’d both just love to connect on a deeper level? Maybe you and your spouse or partner haven't learned how to communicate honestly or with respect...and there has been a betrayal of trust – You live like roommates rather than lovers – You feel isolated and alone – You are together only because of your children...and you want something more, much more!
In the non-judgmental, supportive environment I provide, you & your partner’s individual wants & needs are combined with evidence-based techniques & therapies to build confidence, openness, & respect. We’ll work together to improve your relationship with each other for the long-haul.
When both partners are provided with the right tools, appropriate approaches, and healthy insights, relationship frustrations often ease or disappear. Problems become manageable, validation & openness increases, and mature communication paves the way for a calmer, happier relationship and the healthiest way forward together.
