You might be asking yourself, "Who is this person next to me?" or "Should we even keep trying to make this work?" Feeling defensive, rejected, or alone, or walking on eggshells, can take a toll on you emotionally, at work, as a parent and socially. You want to feel desired and to enjoy being with your partner again. When you reach out for affection or attention, you want your partner to be there with interest, acceptance and warmth. I specialize in helping couples and individuals who are feeling lonely, angry, unheard, frustrated and worried about the future of their relationship.
If you have been trying for awhile to work things out, but you're still struggling and feeling hurt or alone, or caught in a cycle of arguing, blaming, and withdrawing, it might be time to try something different. Getting some expert support can help you achieve what you want and need in your relationship. I am here to listen and help you do that.
I can help you discover and understand the emotions underlying and driving anger and fear that may be keeping you disconnected. As you start talking again in a way that feels safer and as trust is restored, the defensiveness, loneliness, and fear will give way to hope and a closer connection. If you are ready for change, contact me for a free consultation.
