Nurturing and sustaining a relationship can be hard work. Couples come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Often, it is because they feel distant and want to get back to an intimate space. Sometimes couples are stuck in a cycle of fighting and come to therapy to figure out how they got into the cycle. The stress of life including parenting, finances, and other external influences can be a roadblock to getting along, communicating effectively or being the best couple you can be.
You and your partner did not come with a user’s manual, and the unique skills needed for your relationship are not inherent — they are skills you need to develop. I can help you develop these skills to bring your relationship back to life.
If we decide to work together we will find a mutually convenient time to meet and we will meet until you have achieved your therapeutic goals.

Increase understanding of each other
Work with and understand each other’s sensitivities, intensities and quirks
