Couples Therapy
Cultivating the Intimacy you Crave
"Compatibility is an achievement of love;
it shouldn’t be its precondition.”
- Alain De Botton
Parenting, in-laws, money, sex, work, roles at home – the issues you argue about may be big, or maybe they seem small and silly, but what matters is that they make you feel disconnected, unheard, unloved, hurt, even desperate and hopeless. I will help you hear each other – really understand each other. I’ll give you tools for understanding where arguments break down and how to find solutions together. And I will teach you how to truly forgive each other.
Things I can help with:
Imbalance in desire for sex.
Having the same old fight over and over.
Hurt over past events that you can’t seem to get past.
Disagreements over parenting style.
Loss of that feeling of closeness you had in the beginning of the relationship.
Differences on how to spend money.
Stress of controlling in-laws or special needs children.
It gives me great joy to facilitate what everyone craves (but often feels elusive) in relationships:
deep emotional intimacy.
It makes you feel seen, known, affirmed, accepted, nurtured…
in short, deeply loved.
Loving and feeling loved are skills and you can learn them!
“Love is a skill,
not just an enthusiasm.”
- Alain De Botton
