Helping partners in relationship discover their difficult patterns and coaching them in ways to create a safe emotional space in which to discuss these patterns is the bedrock of my work with people in relationship. Within that safe space partners learn ways of communicating that allow the authentic expression of their respective truths to each other, even the uncomfortable ones.

Are you and your partner stuck in repeating patterns of tension and/or conflict? Has the dynamic excitement of your earlier years become stagnant, and do your efforts to shake yourselves loose result in a stalemate? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner and longing for the kind of emotional intimacy that nurtures safety and comfort? Do you provide each other a safe place to land at the end of a tough day, do you have each others’ back when the going is rocky? A wise person once said that “the strength of a relationship is not measured by whether or not we get ourselves into trouble, because all relationships run off the road sometimes. No, the strength is revealed in whether or not we can get ourselves out of trouble.”

In therapy with me, you will learn how to climb back out of the ditches.
