Often individuals & couples find me when they are at this crisis point:
Layers of unresolved pain, resentment or relational deadness have pushed one or both of them to the point of fearing that splitting up might be the better option. They wish they could see a way out of this that doesn’t mean either settling or leaving full of guilt and resentment.
In over a decade of supporting couples in crisis I have crafted and honed my answer to that achingly painful question
“What (the f!&k) happened to us?”.
The truth is nothing happened and that is the problem. You were never meant to stay in that place that you have been trying to get to. Your relationship, like all living matter in existence, is meant to evolve. The crisis you are experiencing is the wake-up call that is trying to nudge you onward.

You can't figure out why this person who once made you come alive, now feels like a constant source of heaviness and painful experiences.
You may have tried conventional couples therapy and discovered that communication skills just don't cut it.
You find yourself repeating the same arguments despite your best intentions.
Your sex life is close to non-existent because you can’t even imagine wanting to be intimate
You may find yourself holding back the truth from your partner in fear of the pain, guilt and shame that could result.
You may be trying to recover from infidelity but find yourself stuck in cycles of pain and conflict
You don't even argue but you sense this is because something is being avoided
One or both of you may have begun wondering if polyamory could be a way to feel alive again without having to end this relationship

The truth is that no matter how skilled, qualified or experienced the practitioner, the person who will be most able to help you, is the one with whom you "click", the person you feel safe enough with to be you and take risks.
