About

Are you struggling with your relationship? Would you like to turn it around?

Your life is so hectic. Feel like it's too hard to give your relationship the attention it needs?

Do you wish you had a healthier connection with your partner, friend, child, or parent?
I hear you!

I strive to understand my client's needs, communication styles, and provide guidance to strengthen your bond.

Here are some ways I support couples and individuals with relationship concerns:

Effective Communication: I encourage open and honest communication between partners. Teach them active listening skills and help them express their thoughts and feelings in a respectful manner. Communication is key to resolving conflicts and deepening understanding.
Understanding Needs: I help couples identify and understand each other's needs, both emotional and practical. This could involve exploring love languages, attachment styles, and individual goals to ensure that both partners feel heard and valued.
Conflict Resolution Skills: I teach techniques for resolving conflicts constructively, such as using "I" statements, finding common ground, and seeking compromise. Taking a 20 minute break when things get heated is an essential tool.
Building Trust: I assist couples in building and maintaining trust in their relationship. This involves being reliable, honest, and supportive of each other. I help them work through trust issues if they arise, such as infidelity or breaches of confidence.
Quality Time and Connection: I encourage couples to spend quality time together and nurture their emotional connection. This could involve activities they both enjoy, regular date nights, or simply carving out time for meaningful conversations.
Regular Check-ins: I urge regular guided check-ins where couples can assess the health of their relationship and address any concerns or issues that may have arisen.
