"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."
~ Sophocles

Enriching Your Relationship 

Finding "the One", your perfect mate with whom you feel you can be vulnerable, be yourself, be well, "one" with, is absolutely doable; in fact, faith that you can find love, or find love again, is what we all crave - and deserve!  

Therapy offers immense benefits in developing the relationship of your dreams! Marriage is potentially our most intimate human relationship and the most rewarding! A feeling of connectedness and true intimacy creates a healthy relationship in which you move towards each other, rather than away. You and your partner have brought a myriad of experiences to your relationship, however true intimacy can be a reality, even in the face of challenges.

Let me share my 10 Rules for Relationship Success with you now:
  •  Treat your partner with respect, empathy and affection.
  •  Don't criticize your partner’s personality or character.
  •  Avoid using words like "you always" or "you never".
  •  Never name call; think about the words you use to speak to one another.
  •  Always be willing to listen to your partners feelings; don’t shut down or walk away from conflict.
  •  Accept, even embrace, each other's personality differences; after all, you are two different people!
  •  Build your relationship on one another’s strengths and weaknesses; dare to be vulnerable.
  •  Focus on the positive rather than the negative; what you like rather than what you don’t like.
  •  Give one another a lot of positive affirmation. Express your feelings and desires and remember to communicate, communicate, communicate.
  • Visualize the marriage of your dreams; keep your expectations high. 

Healing Your Relationship

Healing a relationship that is hurting is possible, no matter the difficulty that you have endured. I believe so strongly in the power of faith to bring us through issues even as devastating to intimacy as infidelity when both partners are truly motivated to bring about change. It is the challenging life circumstances that we find ourselves, that provide us with the opportunity to grow, to learn, and ultimately to heal and love once again.

How we choose to respond to these circumstances is key and I can help! You have a strength and resiliency within you that can help you create a positive outcome because, ultimately, how we respond, either negatively or positively, is a choice. I can help you through our work together to make better choices for yourself, to let go of the negative energy and let positivity flow into your life and relationship!

Healing After Divorce:  The Courage to Love Again

When it comes to love, we humans are a resilient breed! Yes, a divorce (often described as "messy", which can't come close to describing most divorces!) has the potential of leaving a lasting effect on your self-confidence, self-esteem—the feeling that you are lovable and worthy of being adored - if you let it.  

But I am here to inspire, to motivate and to encourage you to reach for more than your previous relationship. To dream and to keep alive your vision of the relationship of your dreams. To learn what worked, and what didn't. Because no matter your past traumas, no matter how "unlovable" you may feel from time to time, you are worthy of being adored and valued by that one special love.  

A good relationship takes time to develop and to grow; it must be nurtured, fed, taken care of, but the rewards are tremendous! I bring empathy and compassion to your healing from divorce and want to assure you that you're not alone in your desire, and need, to love and be loved. Even in the face of not having been loved well in the past, we can learn, grow, and love well, starting now!
