Relationships are an important part of life. When they are going well people feel cared for, safe and connected. When relationships are strained or in turmoil, couples often feel threatened by one another. Our culture teaches us that once we find our special person, our life should feel whole and complete. And, if this special person really loves us then they will intuitively know how treat us and make us feel loved.
A satisfying relationship takes work by both parties. To thrive, couples in relationships need to have good communication skills, empathy for the other and flexibility to grow and adapt in the relationship as times goes on. We are not taught these valuable life skills, and as a result our relationships suffer.
In my couples counseling sessions, I create a safe space for couples to have difficult conversations. I teach couples compassionate communication and work with them to explore how they show up in the relationship. Together we work to uncover unmet needs. I do not takes sides with one person over the other in the relationship. My responsibility is to make sure each person feels heard and seen. I am there as a guide to highlight the relationship as a whole.
I am passionate about working with couples in relationships. True change happens when each individual understands what challenges and gifts they bring into the relationship. Relationships can successfully improve when each individual is willing to suspend judgment and open up to compassion and curiosity for their partner. Real lasting change when each person commits to the process of couples therapy.
