It goes without saying - marriage takes work. Between the busyness of work, kids, home-life, financial issues or adjustment challenges associated with retirement, aging, and health issues, it can be difficult to stay connected to your marital partner. Unintentionally, the stress of life can cause couples to drift apart over time. It’s all too easy to remain distance as destructive communication has left the heart wounded, or circumstances out of the couple’s control have weighed too heavily on a fragile relationship.
I work with individuals and couples from an attachment lens. Through this therapeutic approach, I help you address and resolve past traumas and attachment wounds that may stem from various parts of the couple’s life. I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can discuss sensitive issues openly and honestly.

Relationship counseling addresses the challenges that exist with interpersonal relationships that are not romantic. These relationships can include family, friends, acquaintances, and professional relationships. Relationship counseling is beneficial for any two people, or group of people who are experiencing communication problems, boundary issues, differing expectations, unresolved conflict, conflicting personalities, different values and beliefs, and inequality within the relationship. Even when people get along well, stress and daily life can cause conflicts that seem difficult or impossible to resolve.
Relationship counseling can be an effective way to learn healthy ways to manage differences, work through lingering issues and restore harmony. Transform your relationships from a source of stress to a source of strength.
