Nurturing relationships is my passion. I find myself reflecting often and noticing that the greatest threats to our mental health likely occurred in the context of our earliest relationship disconnects. It only makes sense that we use our current partner, family, friend, and therapist relationships to nurture ourselves back to optimal health, security, and life satisfaction.
