Relationships are a gift, but can be so challenging at times! Seemingly simple conversations turn into arguments, quiet moments are filled with distance, and what used to feel easy and comfortable is difficult and tense. You both want closeness, yet you don't know how to get there on your own anymore.
Together, we’ll uncover what fuels the conflict and rebuild safety between you. Using proven tools from neuroscience, Imago, and the Gottman Method, you’ll gain insight and practical strategies to stop the destructive cycles and get back on the same team again.
You really can heal. It's totally possible to repair your relationship with your partner, and yourself, if you are willing to put in the effort. I've seen it countless times. You just need to take the first step. Click the “Email Me” button to schedule a free consultation.

I highly recommend Ryan. He's warm and wise -with a mix of sensitivity and humor. He's genuine, down-to-earth and brings such a vast knowledge base to his work including depth psychology and yoga. He's my number one referral for couples therapy.
