Creating the capacity for true healthy attachment leads to building healthy, fulfilling, and lasting relationships. Often, couples misfire in their communication styles and don’t understand the needs of each other, or even themselves as individuals.
Safe, honoring, and loving communication is a key building block in stable and happy partnerships. I am here to help facilitate the shifting of patterns that feel stuck, or communication that has come to a painful impasse, so that there is renewed movement and enhanced capacity for deepening your attachment to one another.
