Responsibility Centered Relationships
I help couples reconnect in their relationships.
Being married myself and having met with countless other couples in therapy over the past 25 years as a licensed therapist, I know that relationships are hard work. Our marriages can be a source of love, fulfillment, and support. And marriage can be the root of our frustrations and a source of loneliness. It hurts to be lonely when you’re not alone.
So many couples have shared with me their stories of starting out happy and in love, only to find that a few years, or even decades later, their partner has become a source of pain. They live together but lead separate lives. As I listen to couples share their experiences, almost always, it becomes apparent that they both want the same things. To be loved and understood. To feel connected and supported. To disagree and challenge each other without either feeling put down or less than the other.
My husband and I have struggled with these same challenges. And I have discovered, both personally and professionally, that happiness, joy, and fulfillment across the years IS attainable within our marriages. It’s about turning toward, not against our partner. It’s about taking responsibility for ourselves first. And it’s about HOW we communicate – because all our actions and inactions communicate something.
Learning what I’ve learned from working with countless couples and mixing in what my husband and I have created in our relationship and all we’ve walked through the last several years, I’ve made it my personal mission to help couples who are committed to making their marriages work achieve exactly that.
