Conflict: Will it bring us closer or tear us apart?

Early in our relationship therapy, our similarities and differences fuel attraction, enrich our lives and deepen our connection to one another. Over time, without conscious work, these same traits can slip into reactive patterns of attack or withdrawal, a painful cycle that often feels outside of our control and works against our best intentions.

Our goal is to help you see these patterns, to understand why we are do what we do, to identify our unmet needs, to honor our true feelings, find new ways to team up against the negative cycle, then transform it. Conflict is an opportunity for repair and intimacy. Ultimately, we can be seen, understood and loved.
