What to do if your relationship is in trouble...
If you are experiencing tension or trouble in your relationship or relationships, you may be questioning whether you should stay, feeling afraid of losing your partner, experiencing disappointment, hopelessness, shame, or simply want to do prevention work. Relationship troubles can manifest as depression, anxiety, addictions and health problems so it is important to start talking to your partner. I offer a safe place with meaningful guidance to help you explore the complexities of yourself and your relationship. If you feel like you want to have meaningful conversations with your partner that will help you both heal from hurt, reach out, sometimes that first step in of itself will bring about relief. Let's give you better tools to make each other feel taken care of and get you to a place where you are a strong team. Work with me, I have helped thousands of individuals and couples get unstuck and deepen their understanding of one another.
