Whether you’re looking to enhance your connection with your partner or navigate through challenging times, I will be here to guide and support you on your journey towards lasting love and understanding.

I use the renowned Gottman Method to help couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. The Gottman Method is a type of couples therapy developed by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman. Interventions used in the Gottman Method are tightly effective and research-based (over 40 years). You’ll learn how to use the interventions at home to help you with your verbal communication and increase intimacy, respect, and affection. You will learn how to remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy and create a higher level of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship

Building a Deeper Friendship  – Feeling Seen, Heard and Understood  

We all change and grow as we get older, but we don’t always notice the changes in ourselves or our partners. I will guide you and your partner to:

• get to know each other better and deepen your friendship.
• Build trust and commitment (even if it needs just a little refresh)
• Have honest, clear and effective conversations
• Become great listeners
• Feel like your partner “gets” you, validate and acknowledge you. 

Manage Conflicts – How to Argue Better

The majority of our problems are unsolvable BUT with the research-based tools, exercises and communication skills you will learn with me how to :

• process your arguments and fights
• calm yourself when you get overwhelmed during an argument
• get the conversation back on track, or even how to start one.
• express and feel validated
• be a great listener
• recover, heal and move forward

 Create Share Meanings –  Dreams, Goals, Traditions and Rituals

It might feel like you will be starting your relationship all over again *, and that is a good thing. We often at the beginning build our relationships on experiences we had with our previous partners, high/low expectations, our upbringing and trauma.

I will support and guide you to create share meanings, talk about each other’s dreams, and your dream’s deep connections to your past, and create new traditions and rituals for your life together.

* This will especially apply to couples with affairs. I will guide you and your partner to create a marriage/relationship No. 2. 

Intimacy – Passion, Emotional Intimacy and Closeness

When a relationship is rocky intimacy of any kind takes a bit hit. It can be extremely frustrating and painful for both of you. You might feel unloved, unattractive and much more. We’ll explore what is in the way to be intimate and feel connected to your partner. Some of these will be obvious (busy life, kids, tiredness) but you might discover a lot about you and your partner. We’ll not rush this part as it might require healing from trauma. It will require courage, empathy and great listening to create the passion, fun, connection and intimacy you would love to have.
