You and your partner are struggling to communicate. The emotional intimacy has lost its spark and physical connection is fading. We aren't connecting and the stress is high. You want to heal together instead of growing apart. You want to be a better partner! You need to shake up how you talk to each other in order to make this to work; there is so much at stake to maintain the relationship you've built. There is so much you want to share with your partner, and you need help learning how to engage again. You can learn how to be vulnerable with one another by increasing your communication skills and learning how to listen again.
You are looking for a perspective that will challenge and push you to grow. I provide education on communicating more effectively with others and help you set boundaries with them so that you can live life on your terms. I teach skills to increase your insight into your emotions. I support you in finding solutions to take and make changes with.
I welcome you to connect with me and learn how to access your inner strengths. You can have the life, love, and relationships you desire through support, communication skills, and healing. Please complete the contact form on my website to get started and we'll get something scheduled. I am here to help you achieve your goals.
