Are you ready to strengthen your communication & deepen your emotional bond?

A 5 week small group course for busy, motivated couples where you will learn how to identify cycles of disconnection in your relationship, understand one another on a deeper level, and communicate in new ways. The upcoming course offering is for couples with young children.

Welcome to Connected Relationships

  • You and your partner are not communicating well and it’s leaving you both feeling unseen, unheard, misunderstood, and/or unappreciated.

  • You feel like maybe you need couples therapy but you don’t have the time or energy to invest in something with an arbitrary end date and/or you or your partner are not into doing therapy.

  • Every time you both get into an argument or are just in a cycle of feeling really disconnected, you  wonder “why haven’t we sought help or done something different yet?”

  • Working on your relationship has been on your to-do list for months… or years.

  • You’ve reached a point where something needs to change.

You’ve dreamed of feeling a deep emotional bond with your partner but you don’t yet because…

You feel like you don’t have time to focus on your relationship.

You don’t want to deal with finding childcare.

Your partner doesn’t want to commit to couples therapy.

You’re worried that if you seek help, it means that something is wrong with you and your partner.

The first big step is to identify the emotional cycles in your relationship, the cycles that happen again & again and leave you both feeling upset, misunderstood, unappreciated and…stuck.

In the Connected Relationships course, I’ll walk you through a process where you will increase emotional awareness and implement new ways of communicating into your everyday life.   

At the end of our time together, you will have identified the cycle of disconnection within your relationship, increased your understanding of your own needs and your partner’s needs, and practiced new and different different ways of communicating that will help you both to feel seen, heard, understood, and appreciated.  If you’ve done all the work, you will have strengthened your communication & deepened your emotional bond. You will be more connected.

I’ve helped many couples identify negative patterns in their relationship, improve understanding of one another, and shift communication so that everyone is feeling heard, understood, and emotionally connected.  Relationships are my passion… I just love them. I love understanding them, growing them, and helping couples improve them.   I love all things relationships.

Here’s what you’ll accomplish in Connected Relationships:

Week One:

Through education and experiential practice with your partner you will learn about the cycle of disconnection in your relationship, how to identify the cycle when you’re in it, and ways you can prevent it.

Week Two:

You will learn how to identify and understand attachment needs and underlying emotions that come up for both you and your partner, including emotions that trigger the cycle of disconnection and emotions that show up when you’re in the cycle of disconnection.

Week Three:

You will learn how to communicate with your partner in news ways through education and experiential practice with your partner.

Week Four:

You will learn about the cycle that comes up for you and your partner around intimacy and sex and strategies to make positive shifts around the two.

Week Five:

You will meet with me for a private 30 minute call where we will review and reflect on what you’ve learned and growth in your relationship. You will have the opportunity to ask any final questions.
