"When we have a disagreement, my partner shuts down and I get frustrated. We feel stuck."
"I've been cheated on. It feels like I will never get over the betrayal."
"We are so busy with work, kids, and the other demands of life. It feels like we’ve lost the spark we once had."
"I want to get married and my partner doesn't right now. It hurts. How can we get on the same page?"
The connection between people has the power to enrich or destroy. Some say that personality compatibility is the most important component in a relationship. Others say that sexual chemistry is paramount. Still others say that it is most important to be with your “best friend” for a lasting and satisfying relationship. What do you think? What are the strengths and areas for improvement in your relationship?
The goals of couple’s counselling vary. Some want to get along better and improve at working as a team. Others want to rediscover the passion that has been replaced by careers, kids, and household responsibilities. Some want to open up the relationship to new connections. Still others are facing the crisis of an infidelity.
Having an objective outsider observe relationship dynamics, offer a fresh perspective, and work with you and your partner in overcoming obstacles can infuse your relationship with new life and vitality. I will stay with you through the challenges and will help you relate to each other in a way that fosters greater connection between you. My approach with couples is collaborative, warm, and gentle, but I will challenge you as well.
