When entering a committed relationship we have a desire and expectation for friendship, mutual respect, love and validation. It takes work, it takes courage, it takes support and training to arrive at this ideal.

I work with couples who are looking to improve communication and intimacy mainly from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) lens and from a Mindful approach to Non-violent Communication (MNVC).

Relationships have become increasing difficult in these stressful times. Couples often require support and a neutral place to identify and work through their issues. I help couples to focus on the positives and manage the conflicts while building friendship and trust.

We want connection- a space to be vulnerable and truly seen. But emotional intimacy is risky, and that scares us, especially with a difficult history! Instead of being vulnerable, we build up walls to protect us. Let's break down the walls and build a loving connection.
