Relationships can be tough. Do the fights make you think maybe this relationship won't work? Why are small things turning into big arguments that are essentially about standing on principle? You trust each other, so why is so hard to be vulnerable and discuss difficult feelings? When you have been together for a long time and your relationship matures it's totally normal to have some feelings of disconnection. But here's the good news, we can work on it. Together we can work toward reinvigorating your connection, improve communication and getting back to where you want to be; growing and experiencing life together.
Couples counseling can be scary. I've been in couples counseling and I know what it's like to be on the other side of the chair. What is most important as we work together is that you both feel heard, understood and empowered in your relationship to develop safety and trust.
If you want to know more about my practice please get in touch. We’ll schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can learn more about my process and to make sure I am the right fit for what you are looking for. I look forward to helping you on your journey back to yourself.
