When I first committed to my life partner and husband twenty-three years ago, I thought because I swore I would never have the same kind of relationship or be entirely the same kind of parents as my parents were, it would never happen. I thought my beliefs, willpower, and caretaking of the people I love would be enough to make a healthy partnership. And, while these qualities do have some clout; and luck, love, and forgiveness have played starring roles, I’ve learned a LOT about creating security and healthy bonding with my partner and children. Just like you, I too have had days where I’ve felt unseen and underappreciated, exhausted and frustrated. I, like you, have wondered why no-one gets me in my family. And I have had stupid fights with my partner; fights that I thought were about the words but were really about feeling separate and alone- at the dinner table, in the car, watching TV; places I thought no-one could ever be lonely in.

When we work together, you’ll see how my passion and purpose is to walk with you in your relationship and family. NOT because I’ve learned all the answers, but because over the years, I’ve felt how painful it is to feel confused, angry, and alone in your love commitment. I’ve worked hard to connect and re-connect with my people over and over, and I have learned one thing: it’s so much easier to work through love disconnection with a trusted guide by your side.
