Relationship 
Therapy

Relationships of any kind come with many intrinsic challenges. Perhaps you and another person experience the inability to communicate effectively, feeling as though you are going in circles when you try, not able to see eye to eye around the issues you are having. Esther Perel asks not what you are fighting about, but rather, what are you fighting for? This is a concept from psychologist Howard Markman, who suggests that there are typically three main roots of relationship conflict, and the need for: power & control, care & closeness, or respect & recognition. I want to determine what you both are fighting for, whilst practicing kind and constructive communication, increasing connection, and protecting and preserving the other qualities of this relationship that matter most to you. These sessions are not only applicable to romantic relationships. I am Gottman Therapy Level 1 & 2 certified.

"Great relationships are built on respect, empathy, and a profound understanding of each other. Relationships don't last without talk, even for the strong and silent type." - John M. Gottman
