About

Welcome
A deeply committed and loving relationship can challenge you to your very core. Close relationships trigger our feelings from the past and our deepest insecurities and sometimes bring our worst selves into the open. Growing together through love takes you individually and as a couple to greater heights and depths than ever imagined.
I help couples experiencing: power differences, arguments over finances, parenting styles, cultural issues,/getting along with each other's family of origin, differing sex drives, lack of intimacy, infidelity, adjusting to being parents or empty-nesters, and substance abuse.
"It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages."-Nietzsche.

I support each of you in understanding how unresolved issues from childhood or past relationships impact your current relationship and enhancing confidence in yourself and one another. Our work will involve *assessment, creating a plan based on your vision of what you would like your relationship to be and where you want to land, and clarifying strengths & areas for growth. *Growing your attachment, *addressing unhelpful communication patterns and acquiring tools to communicate constructively, *enhancing your friendship, *rebuilding trust, *increasing positivity, * learning ways to manage conflict effectively, *creating shared meaning and rituals of connection, *recovering from infidelity, *learning how to regulate your emotions and co-regulate with your partner, *understand primary emotions and insecurities which underly conflict, *agree on roles, and much more.
