Human beings are wired to be in a relationship. It’s a journey of self-discovery which brings new challenges and opportunities for each person and for the relationship itself. It is in this journey, more than in any imagined destination, where the promise of love, connection, and fulfilment can be found.
We don’t suddenly arrive at great chemistry. Rather, we discover it one day at a time. Sometimes it’s like a thrill ride! Other times it’s a strenuous uphill climb.
Over the years of my practice, I have seen people struggling with doubts and fears that get in their way at the beginning of their relationship. Some believe that their emotions are too big, they are too needy, or their baggage is too complicated, and wonder if they will be too much for their partner. Others, on the other hand, feel like there is something wrong with them and wonder if they will ever be enough. Sometimes ending a toxic or abusive relationship looks like a rushed decision. Is there no way we can work this out? How much more can I stand? Have I been waiting for too long already? These questions are not unusual but sometimes can be unnerving and paralysing.
What to do when our baggage and our partner’s expectation does not seem to match? There is no single answer because a couple is a complex, ever-evolving entity. Self-awareness is an essential tool for a fulfilling connection. Taking ownership and responsibility for our actions as well as being open to feedback, it thus creates a sense of safety and trust in our relationship.

If you are having trouble in:

• Expressing your feelings to another.
  
• Having one or more unsolvable disagreements.
  
• Withdrawal, criticism, or contempt in your interactions
  
• Having trouble making strong decisions together
  
• Experiencing infidelity, addiction, or potential abuse.
  

It’s time to pay attention to your patterns, and your beliefs and establish boundaries. I can help you become a better communicator, develop strong relationship skills, and improve your family’s happiness.

Relationship therapy isn’t just for married people: cohabiting couples and LGBTQ people can also benefit.
