Romantic relationships are the ultimate human experience with the highest-highs and the lowest-lows. The highs make us feel vibrant, but unfortunately the lows impair our day to day functioning leading to desperate hopelessness. We know this ought not to be, as we long to have a healthy, long term sustainable relationship that is fulfilling. You want to be heard and validated by your partner. You want change both in yourself and in your partner.
I meet couples right-where-they-are-at, with warmth, and expertise, guiding the couple into better listening, validation and change toward better communication, partner responsiveness, and emotional intimacy. I will give you a clear path and a detailed understanding of how to make things better.
Romantic relationships are hard, really hard, and life doesn't make it easier. I know taking the first step toward mental wellness is often not easy, but I would be so thrilled if you invited me to be part of that journey.
