Restore and grow your connection

You want to feel connected again.

But lately, everyday conflicts often escalate into heated fights.

Your best efforts to work things out end up backfiring.

You feel more defeated, hurt, and lonely than when you started.

And it hurts so much because this is the person you fell in love with, and you long for your relationship to be a safe harbor in life (not the source of the storms).

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone.

These patterns are not at all uncommon, and relationship counseling can make a big difference.

I help couples get to the heart of things together.

I’m trained in a somatic, experiential, and mindfulness-based approach called Love Made Simple by The Couples Center.

When considering couples counseling, many people wonder: will it really help?

I get it. It's a substantial investment of your time, energy, and resources. I'll share my perspective here, which really boils down to this: if all partners are willing to give energy and consistent effort to working on the relationship, counseling can be successful, and your relationship has a great chance to heal.

You don’t have to wait until you’re thinking about calling it quits. In fact, pursuing counseling before you’re in crisis is one of the wisest decisions you can make for the future of your relationship.

I see it as a privilege to partner with couples in this work, and I’d be glad to support you.

Relationship Counseling Bay Area can help you emerge stronger as a couple, navigate conflicts skillfully, and repair ruptures with more ease.

The quality of your relationships determines your quality of life. So when we resign ourselves to a lack of satisfaction, intimacy, or vitality in our primary relationship, the consequences ripple outward.

But the good news is that these are not unsolvable problems. Rather, they can be invitations to go deeper, individually and together.

Give yourselves the chance to go from disconnected and disheartened to reconnected and closer than ever.
