| Practice Description: |
While life alone can be chaotic, it doesn't make it any easier if you're having difficulties in your personal relationships too. This can lead to negative thoughts, depression & anxiety. Are you feeling unhappy in your relationship? Feeling disconnected from your partner, or there was an affair, maybe communication is difficult. Looking to reconnect, improve communication, resolve, or add a newness & freshness to the relationship? Know that it is possible. Time to feel good again & get rid of the heaviness of an unhappy & unhealthy relationship. Time to create a new you & a new relationship! Life will feel so much better!
I am specialized in working with couples, I call myself specialized because I only work with couples. My goal is to help couples maintain a healthy, loving & satisfying relationship. Teaching skills to build a friendship again, improve communication, improve intimacy, notice negative interaction patterns & rebuild positive ones, learning about each other's differences, acceptance, compromise, balance & building solutions together.
I have been practicing therapy for over 19 years. I am highly experienced & confident in my work with couples as well as dedicated to teaching couples the skills necessary for them to create & maintain a healthy & balanced relationship. Visit my website www.therapywithanita.com
I also work with couples planning to get married, to prepare them for marriage and/or work out issues before they get married. I'm dedicated to my clients & provide them with skills they can use & carry with them throughout life.
