Our world revolves around connection. We depend on it to survive, throughout the lifespan—in love, family, friendship, and business. At best, our relationships can be a source of joy, comfort, safety, fun, and pleasure. They are where we learn the most about ourselves and others. When connected, we experience the highest highs.

AND, because we are human, our connections are are often in distress, can cause pain, insecurity, poor mental and physical health. They can be the source of our lowest lows. Many of us haven’t been taught how to be in close relationships—how to trust ourselves and others, and to communicate our feelings and needs.

This is where I come in. Whether the relationship you want to work on is with a loved one, a business partner, or perhaps most importantly with yourself, I honor the power and significance of these bonds, and can help you strengthen and repair them.
