My Approach to Helping

You are looking for help. Help reconnecting with a partner who seems disinterested and dissatisfied. My passion is helping couples like you rediscover the joy of a close and intimate relationship. Not just physical intimacy, but intimacy that comes from a deep, emotional connection. You fell in love for a reason, but something seems to have gotten in the way. It's not random. After ten years, I've discovered there is a pattern to the conflict in relationships.

When disconnection arises, you attempt to move closer, to regain the connection you lost. But because you're in distress, it usually comes out frustrated and critical. Your partner interprets this bid for connection as an attack, and typically becomes defensive and withdraws. When you see this defensiveness, it feels like you're totally shut out and blamed, and you become more frustrated. On and on it goes, until you're both too exhausted and just give up.

You may be afraid to hope that change is possible, but I assure you it is. A better life awaits you, a life of fulfillment and excitement, of intimacy and connection. Rediscovering a vibrant relationship is not easy, and it's usually not fast, but it is possible. Reach out to me today so we can begin our journey together.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

In case it wasn't clear from the description up top, I love working with couples. It is challenging and exciting, intense and rewarding, and difficult in a way that makes you feel accomplished when it's done. I've been told by couples that I've worked with that I simply have a way about me that helps them feel comfortable opening up about the deeply personal issues they are struggling with.

I also have experience working with depression and self-criticism, two issues that often go hand-in-hand. I approach therapy from a humanistic perspective, believing that what you need most is to feel accepted for who you are. Once you feel accepted and safe, you will likely begin to change and grow into the person you want to be.
