Couples Therapy
Ready to heal and reignite your relationship?
When relationships are in painful times, no matter the cause or who is at fault, it can feel hopeless. Individually, both partners feel as if life is turned upside down. The stress of the problem impacts all aspects and facets of living. Relationship and intimacy issues make coping difficult.
It could be that one or both partners feel the relationship may be at its end: insecurity and stress surrounding miscommunications, infidelity, contempt, etc... it’s exhausting. You may have come to the point that you aren't sure you can take it any more.
If you are here reading this, it means you have hope - maybe just a little, but it's there. I can show you how to turn things around and achieve deep healing as individuals and as a couple.
No matter what the cause of your historic or current relationship issues...
contempt for each other
arguing
infidelity
secrets
incompatibility
sexual issues
emotional distance
not communicating well
inability to open up to each other

...healing is always possible.
Using my therapy methods and your desire for healing, I can help you develop and intensify your trust with each other, increase your appreciation for the other, and move forward together as a team and intimate partners.
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind"

Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing
People seek help and solutions for many problems and for many reasons. You might be here seeking help for feelings of unworthiness, confusion, shame... the list is long.
Maybe deep down you don’t feel you are even worthy of love, success, and happiness.
Perhaps you’re grappling with a difficult relationship, challenges in your job, past hurts, or childhood trauma. Or you just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead.
You may be struggling and not even know why.
Maybe you worry and fret much of the time. Your anxiety feels like it’s controlling your life. Your mind is always busy with uneasiness about what happened in the past or what might happen in the future.
It could be that you feel overwhelmer with thoughts of guilt or have the feeling that you aren't good enough, pretty enough, handsome enough, man enough, or any fill-in-the-blank enough.
It's possible your exterior doesn't match the interior: people-pleasing, hiding depression, disconnected, using humor as a distraction for emptiness, using drugs, alcohol, sex, or gambling to distract from pain.
No matter what - I want you to know one thing - you are not alone! Your current condition is not indicative of a damaged person. Your current condition doesn't make you abnormal or unworthy. Your current condition means you've faced challenges that have caused emotions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to control you.
You've come to seek healing from many of the above. And, you've come to the right place. I have a way of uncovering the hidden places and getting to the heart of the matter quickly providing transformative change. We will work together to transform the behaviors, beliefs and feelings that are wreaking havoc on your life by healing the emotional pain underlying each of them. By releasing the past, you will heal the wounded parts of yourself by utilizing the wellspring of compassion and understanding that resides in your heart.
The secret is:
You are already whole. You already have the resources needed to do this work. As your guide, I'll assist you on unlocking and tapping into these resources for healing, transformative growth.
