The relationship to ourself is the foundation of all our relationships. Let's begin with you. Do you act in ways that don't get you the result you want? ? Do you wish you just knew how to be a good partner? I can help you to love better. Together we inquire into what holds you back from fully opening your heart. Maybe there is possible unresolved trauma holding you back? Let's create a relationship template that supports what you both truly want. It's best to come as a couple. If that is not possible, come by yourself.
I specialized in couple's work because I wanted to understand the building blocks of a successful relationship. Luckily, anyone can learn to be a good partner. I have studied with the experts in the field and have many tools to support you in creating the relationship you truly want. I often incorporate EMDR in my work, to process unresolved trauma.
Just as I entered graduate school my then-husband and I decided to separate. I wanted to understand why our marriage fell apart and decided to specialize in couple's therapy. I look forward to helping you not to make the mistakes we made. The first step is often the hardest one! Come for a consultation and we will discover whether we are a good fit.
