Or Maybe The Tension is In Your Relationship
You can remember what things were like when you first met, and maybe today you are wondering "what happened to us?" I work with couples looking to find new ways to connect and move forward.
You may be:
-
Feeling disconnected from each other, which is easy in a world today that is so busy with work, raising children, taking classes, and tending to day-to-day obligations
-
Working to find new ways of talking about the same challenging topics that bring up so much tension
-
Noticing that things have changed since having children, or having a parent move in with you
-
Working toward healing from a loss of trust because of something that happened

It can be a really challenging place to not have security and connection in your romantic relationship. I've been trained in the Gottman method to help couples increase levels of communication and intimacy, and am currently being trained in Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) Level 1.
