When you're in a relationship, you want it to be a place where you both feel respected, heard, accepted, and cared for. However, because of how our brains are wired, we often get stuck in defensiveness and frustration, having the same argument over and over. This is especially true after an injury or betrayal. When you're caught in that destructive cycle, even your efforts to improve it only seem to make things worse. Attempts to heal lead to more frustration. It can lead to thoughts of hopelessness! Thanks to new advances in couples therapy, we now have a roadmap to developing genuine communication and finding long-term healing.

Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.
