Hey! This is For You!

If you’ve made it here, welcome to “It Takes Two”! “It Takes Two” is a blog focused on the relational underpinnings that manifest in our daily lives. As you may know, I’m a couples and relationship therapist (the fancy title being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate). Most of my work consists of supporting couples and individuals to navigate relationship concerns and their emotional impacts. What you may not know is that you don’t have to attend therapy when something is “wrong”. Therapy is a welcoming space to explore the health of the relationship when events are secure and relatively happy - it is actually pretty common.

Want to know something else? Connection is a basic human need. We all desire to feel seen, heard, and understood.

The problem is this: We don’t trust ourselves to go there but we’re asking our partners for the very thing we can’t give ourselves.

In math, 1 + 1 will always equal 2. In order to have the safe, secure relationship you desire, you have to be at least curious and motivated to know what’s keeping you stuck… and your partner has to want the same. Thus, it takes two.

I’m on a mission to change the way we understand our relationships with others and most importantly the relationship with ourselves.

Imagine getting a strong start at knowing the ins and outs of the part you play in your relationship. Imagine being able to hold yourself accountable. Imagine being able to be vulnerable enough to take those risks that support your needs being met, but also your partner not being confused.

How would it feel to start learning and exploring what life could look like for you instead?
