Perhaps you and your partner are not in sync and having trouble hearing and understanding each other. You feel sad, scared and angry because this relationship is extremely important to you. No matter how clear the issues are for you as you try to address them, your partner somehow sees the issues differently. Disagreements aren't getting fully resolved. You long to be connected again.
Or you are dealing with: depression and the blahs, anxiety, difficult relationships, effects of trauma, persistent worries, identity questions, life adjustments, thinking that you aren't "good enough,” perfectionism, and grieving.
Couples are looking for a roadmap to learn to communicate deeply and effectively, and rebuild your bond. You long to be understood and supported. You long to feel secure that you can count on each other to face life’s challenges together.
You want to be at ease in your life, relationships, connected to others and community, and feel confident in yourself.
I'm here to help you fulfill these longings and goals. I am a very interactive and compassionate therapist. I am also part-time Faculty at George Washington University, a Clinical Supervisor of Clinical Psychology providing supervision for doctoral student externs at GW Hillel. Call or email for a free-of-charge 15-20 minute phone consultation.
