My focus is helping couples and families who are navigating health issues. Relationships take work, and when couples face medical issues they often don’t know how to proceed. It is important to find ways to connect in new ways, and to communicate in ways that prioritize supporting one another so that the illness isn’t the priority-your relationship is.
Illness and pain often cause changes in sexual response and function. Partners may worry that illness will take over their relationship. Therapy can help you to find common ground and connect through your challenges.
Family members who take on the role of caregiver, whether as a spouse, child, parent or sibling can often feel overwhelmed and worry about losing themselves or not being able to do everything that is needed. Getting support with this challenge is essential, and finding someone who can validate your experience and find solutions can be a game-changer.
