About me
Relationships can be one of the best or worst things in our lives. I am a psychologist who specializes in helping couples and individuals create and build the best possible relationships in all aspects of their lives.
Intimate relationships can be our greatest source of joy or pain. Unfortunately, many find their relationships slipping toward the second option. It is very unpleasant to feel lonely when in a relationship. And walking around on eggshells is exhausting and can make you miserable. It is possible to restore the connection you want with your partner and go forward in life feeling like a team. That is my purpose and the focus of my practice. Our society tells us relationships are supposed to be easy if they are right. Healthy relationships are some work but are also worth it.
One of the things to know about relationship problems is that more often than not, they don't fix themselves. Hurt and problems in a relationship usually lead to patterns and behavior that make things worse over time, rather than better. It is important to get help quickly.
Good relationship counseling is different from traditional counseling. Approaching relationship problems from a perspective that tries to fix what is wrong with individuals can do damage to your relationship. Please choose a specialist. If you would like some guidance in choosing a specialist, my website has a link where you can access a guide to help you.
