Do you ever ask yourself, "My partner and I are successful in so many ways, why does our relationship feel so painfully disconnected?" Allow me to guide you in restoring the connection you once enjoyed together. Damaged trust, anger, infidelity, money problems, lack of sex, intimacy and affection are among the problems that can erode a relationship. I will provide you with tools that will help you move towards rebuilding trust, closeness and integrity in the relationship. I will also teach you how to effectively get what you want from your partner and the relationship. About 50% of my practice is couples, 50% is individual therapy.
Couples Coaching is not covered by insurance. The 2 to 3 hour sessions are to gather an extensive history of both members of the couple, their presenting problems and intensive repair-work. The goal of this work is for deep repair & healing, not only between the couple but past childhood wounding patterns that repeat themselves in intimate relationships.
If you & your partner are willing to confront your part in the relationship dysfunction and desire an authentic, trusting and respectful partnership, then this deep repair work might be for you. You may not recover the old fantasy of what the relationship once was, but you might be able to co-create something far deeper, tempered in safety, honesty & trust.
