Relationships make our worlds go round don’t they? Our most important relationships are the one we have with ourselves and the one we have with our intimate partner. We thrive and feel our greatest sense of wellbeing when we like ourselves and feel comfortable in our own skin and when we feel connected and loved. But relationships are messy and difficult. All of us have been wounded by our experiences of imperfect love to one degree or another. Those wounds show up in our struggle to like and accept ourselves and in our struggle with our partner as we fight to get our needs met.

If you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin and find yourself caught in patterns of self-critical and blaming thoughts, I can help. If you and your partner seem to be having the same fight over and over, and you feel that you are growing apart, I can help. The pages that follow tell you a little more about how I can help, but first let me introduce myself and tell you something about my journey from being a divorce lawyer to a relationship counsellor.
