Talking with an objective third party can help clarify perspectives, in the context of a safe and connection-building environment. Also,\u00a0finding common ground often requires taking a risk, which probing questions and clarifying reflections can nurture. My approach is always to take the position of collaborator, honouring\u00a0your expertise on your experience, and maintaining a safe and confidential forum.<\/p>\n<p>I have\u00a0over 10 years of experience helping couples and individuals find direction, and navigate family conflict. I recognize a breadth of relationship dynamics, and I have a particular interest in deconstructing power dynamics that keep couples from sharing the bond they started with. Unspoken\u00a0feelings can alienate your other, but candid conversation can help keep walls from barring your intimacy. I&#8217;ll help you regulate your feelings and reactions so you can respond to each other constructively, without my help.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:30.6666%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Relationship\u00a0Specialties<\/h3><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><ul style=\"--awb-size:13px;--awb-line-height:22.1px;--awb-icon-width:22.1px;--awb-icon-height:22.1px;--awb-icon-margin:9.1px;--awb-content-margin:31.2px;--awb-circlecolor:#631a35;--awb-circle-yes-font-size:11.44px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-1 fusion-checklist-default type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Pre-marital counselling<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Listening &amp; communication<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Emotional and sexual intimacy<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Conflict resolution &amp; &#8220;fair fighting&#8221;<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa fa-check\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">Achieving amicable separation\/divorce<\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><div class=\"fusion-table table-1\">\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I offer an initial phone consultation at no cost.
