Differences are part of any relationship. The difficulties come when you don't know how to talk with each other about your differences without getting angrier, feeling further apart, feeling more misunderstood and hopeless.

I listen for the deeper fears and needs that pull you apart, and I help each of you talk about what is really bothering you. When you can talk together in ways that make sense to both of you, you begin to open your hearts to each other.

As each of you better understands yourself and your desires, you can begin to deal together with what is keeping you apart, and to connect with each other without making compromises that don't feel right and don't work.

This work can help in all kinds of relationships - with partners, relatives, friends, and people who work together, including psychology trainees and their supervisors.

Sliding scale available.
