A romantic partnership can be the greatest source of joy, but it can also be a source of pain. I have a passion for love and a determination to share everything I have found to be true about nurturing a healthy and long-lasting relationship.
❤️ Nurturing Intimacy: I am here to teach you how to keep your love, friendship, and desire alive, how to manage conflict and learn to compromise, how to understand each other better, and how to maintain connection and intimacy. Using research-based interventions, we will identify your strengths as a couple and work on areas that need improvement.
🤝 Amicable Separation: If a respectful parting is necessary, I will guide you through the process of separating with dignity, ensuring that communication remains effective for any future co-parenting or ongoing interactions.
What to expect from a couples session with me:
Relationships thrive on effective communication, but the pressures of daily life and past traumas can impact our ability to communicate well. Over time, we may develop defenses, habits, or core beliefs that can leave us feeling stuck in challenging relationship dynamics.
My sessions offer a safe space to explore your feelings and experiences in a way that everyday life often doesn’t allow. My goal is to help facilitate open, honest conversations that foster understanding and clarity, allowing you to move forward together. Together, we can explore what is happening in your relationship. I do not take sides or offer ready-made solutions to your situation. Instead, the sessions can provide you with an opportunity to:
address stuck patterns and negative cycles in your relationship
make sense of your own emotions and those of your partner
learn more about your own and your partner’s inner world and emotional needs
develop deeper understanding, closeness and safety in the relationship.
Couples sessions can be helpful if there is a prolonged relationship distress or sudden, tough news to cope with as a couple. Below are some examples when couples book a session with me:
communication breakdown | frequent arguments | blaming and criticism| sense of isolation and hurt feelings | withdrawing, stonewalling or distancing | issues with intimacy and sex fertility issues | adjusting to the birth of a baby | cross-cultural relationships
“Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.
.”
I'm also available for healthy relationship skills coaching sessions, which tend to focus more on situational problem-solving.
What does skill coaching with me look like?
Skills such as handling conflict, communicating our needs, maintaining healthy boundaries and managing our emotions can be extremely helpful in improving our interactions with others. While we can’t change others, people often find their relationships improve when they address their issues. I provide psychoeducation in interpersonal skills.
