In every partnership, both individuals bring unique past experiences and perspectives. The level of support received within our families, past relationship wounds, and current challenges within our relationship all contribute to our views on relationships. We might notice that our communication is strained, our connection is lacking or non-existent, or we are having thoughts of ending the relationship or questioning our future. 

By addressing and healing the wounds of the past while nurturing the present relationship, we can pave the way for deeper connection, increased empathy, and mutual growth. My focus is to help unravel these intricate layers, fostering understanding and providing support to each partner. Together, we will explore effective strategies for communication and delve into the depths of intimacy, with the goal of allowing both individuals to connect on a new level.  

• Premarital/Committed Partner: So, you have decided to embark on the journey of discussing long-term goals and life plans together, yay! However, you may have noticed some areas of misalignment or disconnection that are causing concern. Alternatively, you might simply desire to acquire the skills necessary to establish a relationship built on effective communication, honesty, and openness.

• Betrayals/Breaches of Trust: Establishing and maintaining a deep connection with someone we love and cherish can be challenging, especially when past hurts have caused pain between us. I am here to guide you through this journey of healing and rebuilding. Together, we will actively listen to each other's experience, providing a safe space for open dialogue and collaborative decision-making.

I invite you to engage in meaningful conversations about all aspects of your relationship. Let’s talk about all the things: long-term goals, intimacy, parenthood, life transitions, finances, stress management, past experiences, or expectations with in-laws. We'll create a safe space to discuss any current discomfort, barriers to connection, or doubts you may have on this journey. 

While we can't predict the future, ensuring we are building our relationship based on commitment, honesty, openness, and trust helps us remain aligned and equipped to face whatever challenges or joys lie ahead. Together, we will have meaningful conversations and pave the way for a future filled with respect, understanding, and mutual support.
