"Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It's the magic sauce."

Deborah helps couples find the grace in relationship. Are you considering making a commitment with your partner? Or maybe you are trying to manage conflict and deal with challenges each of you present. Having trouble agreeing on an important decision and feel misunderstood? Perhaps you are deciding if staying together is right? Or possibly you have decided to separate and would like to do it with as much ease and grace as possible.
All relationships offer us a unique window into our own self, our unique gifts, true desires, and life lessons. Naturally we run into bumps on the relationship road but when we are awake to the challenge, our relationship can be the perfect portal to experience more love for our self, more love and a sense of belonging with our partner, so together we can find the mutual support we need to face the world. Relationship therapy is a great way to gain a new perspective, learn new ways of relating, and kindle your unique sense of love and belonging.
Deborah works with couples to cultivate a deeper perspective of each other, a 'relationship consciousness' so to speak. Together we cultivate 'active empathy' as a tool for relationship awareness and employing a variety of strategies with the optional use of photography, couples learn to nourish the relationship with "deep perception". Simply, we can't feel valued unless we feel seen. With the help of therapy couples can discover the power within their 'we-ness'.
