About Relationships

Every day I learn one or two new things from one of my clients about relationships. I am so glad that I finally have an opportunity, by writing in this blog, to share these insights, thoughts and ideas that may go unmentioned in session if you are a client, or perhaps may be of use to you if we have never met personally. This blog is about you, and I hope you find something in future blog entries that are useful and comforting.

So many of life’s challenges are about relationships we have with others. I look forward to writing about communication tools and conflict resolutions skills, couples counseling, your marriage, or problems with your boss. I will share insights about your relationships between mothers and daughters and fathers, between you and your neighbors and friends, and between you and your in-laws and extended family. Mostly I look forward to writing for you, the individual, as every relationship starts with you.

Think of me as your advocate. I know what to do when you feel unappreciated, misunderstood, erased and even betrayed. And I will share these thoughts with you often. So please feel welcome to visit this blog frequently, and let me know what is on your mind regularly. I expect to share thoughts with you once or twice a week. As we are all very busy, I will target those things about relationships that most frequently come up in session.
