30 yrs exp. When your love slides into painful patterns of tension & misunderstanding I can help you communicate. There are skills & tricks to being a good communicator while in distress. Bumpy communication is at the root of most problems. Have you ever wondered how someone could love you but not seem to understand you? I'll help you learn to diffuse resentments & solve problems together more smoothly. If you're feeling stuck I'm here to help you rejuvenate your connection. My sessions provide a safe, neutral atmosphere where you can feel safe. (Visit my extensive website for much more detail on how I can help you, my fees).
I am an emotional advocate for Couples seeking to increase cooperation & stop power struggles. You'll feel supported knowing that you have an experienced Couples Therapist working with you, focusing on solutions that give you emotional relief.
