Therapy is a safe place where you can reflect on your emotions, concerns, dreams, and more - with your partner(s) or individually.

There are several reasons why people start therapy. It is not always because of a crisis. It could be that you find yourself feeling less passionate about your interests than you used to, or perhaps you have noticed it has become harder for you to get out of bed in the morning. Or maybe you simply wish you could speak more openly and honestly about your fantasies with your partner(s)!

Therapy is about exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and while doing so, having someone there to support you, empower you, and guide you while always remaining completely open-minded and non-judgmental.

There are many benefits to therapy that can include: gaining new coping skills, deepening emotional experiences, and becoming unstuck in areas of your life.

John Gottman’s research shows that there are three things couples can do to make a relationship last:

1) strengthening your friendship

2) change the way you handle conflict

3) supporting each other’s dreams.

There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. Conflict is unavoidable. However, I am here to help you find the best method of communication for yourself while also adding to your skill set, so you are able to repair more effectively from conflict in your relationship(s).

The more partners are able to communicate, the more connected they feel with one another. As their connection becomes stronger, partners feel more safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings with each other in the relationship, which could lead to enhancing intimacy and desire.
