You wonder how things got this way, you used to feel connected with your partner. You feel alone, confused, frustrated, misunderstood, rejected etc. You reach out, you are trying…it turns to an argument or distancing. It often seems like a blame game with defensive reactions. How do you turn this around and feel safe with your partner again, or other loved ones? You are concerned about the outcome, yet it’s not getting better. Something needs to change but you’re unsure how to approach things.
You hope for renewed connection, to make sense of things within your own identity, your relationship with your partner, family member, work associates, others. You hope to overcome anxiety, depression, marital distress, infidelity, divorce, addiction, trauma, etc.- to better understand yourself. I’m here to help you sort this out.
I focus on attachment, relationships with partners, parents, siblings, & children. I enjoy working with couples, individuals, families and addressing spirituality when desired. I offer a safe environment to better explore your conflict and opportunity to better identify your strengths. I look forward to walking beside you, finding your best path forward.
