Today let's move forward.

When I am struggling, it's hard to reach out. It's easy to think "I should be able to figure this out." I also sometimes think everyone else has it together, and it's tough to admit I'm upset or confused. I'd love to make this easier for you, start with an email, send me the questions you have. Notice how it feels to make even one move forward.

About

Are you fighting?

Does your marriage or partner relationship feel unexpectedly hard and confusing? Are you surprised because things weren't always this way? If you and your person are always fighting, and you want to stop, we can make that happen. Let's work together to soften the arguments, uncover the meanings underneath the disagreements, re-discover what attracts you two, and what connects you to each other. You will find deeper feelings of love and companionship for each other. If you aren't fighting, are you here because you can't seem to feel real love for your spouse anymore? Is it hard to remember what attracted you to them in the first place? Does it feel like forever since you and your partner got along smoothly? Have you been together for so long already and it seems silly or strange to start repairing things now, after all this time? Maybe other people are telling you that your partner is so wonderful and that's confusing because you see them so differently. If you're contemplating ending this relationship, I can help you see more clearly whether there's something left to salvage or if there isn't. _________________ If you landed here because you're in a fight with yourself, I've got you too. Sometimes do you wonder how you became someone you're not very excited about? Do you find yourself unsatisfied, unmotivated, or discontent without much (if any) explanation? Are you making choices you wish you didn't? By chance, do you feel you should have more control over yourself? Maybe you're grouchy and frustrated rather than content and happy? If this sounds like you, then send me an email, and let's make a plan. I can help you feel better, and make the choices you want to make. I will walk you through it. ___________________ SELF-HELP FAVORITES I realize many people, myself included, love some great self-help. Here are my personal favorites, if you prefer a more DIY approach. For Couples Work: The Gottman Institute at Gottman.com/couples Here, you can purchase on-demand material to practice individually or with your partner. Specific classes and bundles are available for new parents and all other areas of struggle in companionships Feeling Good Together by David Burns ($17 on Amazon) Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection by Dr Julie and Dr. John Gottman ($18 on Amazon) The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman ($11 on Amazon) For Individual Work: Feeling Great by David Burns ($20 on Amazon) When Panic Attacks by David Burns ($15 on Amazon) The Anxiety and Worry Workbook by David Clark and Aaron Beck ($15 on Amazon) Mindfulness for Beginners - A Simple 30 Day Program by Jeff Warren located on the Calm app (available with free trial or subscription) Feeling Great app from the Feeling Good Institute (7 day free trial or yearly subscription for $99 or free if in financial distress) For Parents: Good Inside - app from Dr. Becky Kennedy ________________ Over time, I've come to deeply respect the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman as well as Dr. David Burns. I can take almost zero credit for the progress you will find in using their skills. I will take credit for how curious I am about you and what you want when we work together. Permanent change will require deliberate effort inside and outside of session and you can do it. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to ask me your questions or send them via email. If I am not the therapist for you then I will help you find who you need. The life you want is possible. The relationships you want are possible. Let's get started.
