We listen, act, and transform
I have a passion to journey with couples who seek to restore love and trust in their life and in their relationship(s). When we experience violations to our sense of identity and safety we experience real pain and confusion. It is possible for all of us to find peace and be grounded in the truth of who we are, and discover new ways to act within our daily life and decision making. I especially have an interest in journeying with couples struggling with communication (i.e. decision making), passion and attachment, intimacy, life transitions, and conflict (i.e. anger, shame, control, infidelity, addiction, trauma).
Our emotions are important and they impact all of us in unique ways. As we experience painful emotion we all will have certain ways of coping with this pain that may cause confusion for ourselves and loved ones. Together we'll explore these cycles of pain and seek opportunities for cycles of peace and new ways of choosing how we want to live and interact.
Have you been struggling to make sense of some pain and confusion in your life and your story? Maybe you find yourself coping with experiences of anger, self shame, control or avoidance. These moments may also push away the person or people you love and you would like to find new ways to build trust. If so, I would be honored to work with you!
