Are you struggling with communication, lack of intimacy, feeling stagnant, or feel like you are living with a roommate and not a partner? I would love to work with you to explore how to improve your relationship in a variety of ways. I can help you explore the barriers within your relationship and how to improve communication, fair fighting, work through infidelity, and heighten sex/intimacy, both physically and emotionally.
History of untreated trauma? I can help you work through any traumatic experiences and help you improve your daily living, along with your relationships with others.
