Introduction

Relationships can be exciting, rewarding, enjoyable, and equally frustrating, confusing, many find themselves feeling hopeless and helpless, especially "when things are really bad". Conflict is natural and expected in relationships. Often times we get stuck in repetitive issues. These issues may leave you feeling frustrated, disconnected even lonely at times. Infidelity/betrayals, trauma, depression, anxiety can also affect how we relate to our partners. The good news is that you can learn how to work together through those difficult times. The process can assist you in learning to use these challenges as opportunities. Opportunities that offer a space for growth. One that allows you to create a stronger more resilient relationship. My passion is to help clients find the joy and satisfaction they want in their relationships. My approach is a collaborative with clients that feel ready and committed to create the change they desire. I look at this process as a journey where my role is to support you in finding what you need to achieve your goals. _____________________________________________________ Las relaciones pueden ser emocionantes, gratificantes, agradables e igualmente frustrantes, confusas, muchos se sienten desesperanzados e impotentes, especialmente "cuando las cosas van realmente mal".
