My practice is devoted to supporting individuals, couples and their kids. If you want to do the work, improved communication and mutual understanding will help you make for a better future. Too many relationships function on "implicit" understandings. This results in feeling resentful, unappreciated or unloved. By learning to make our relationship dynamics more "explicit" we can work through our constraints to find balance and harmony. Sometimes "reconciliation" means being together as a couple and sometimes "reconciliation" means parting ways, but doing so respectfully. This is especially important if you have kids! Being at peace with yourself is the key!
