An intimate relationship more intensely replicates aspects of our families of origin than any other type of relationship, and we make a major emotional investment when we enter one.  How you handle your emotional reaction is key to a good relationship.  I use an approach developed by The Couples Institute (www.couplesinstitute.com), in which I help you and your partner to increase your knowledge about yourself and the patterns of interaction between you.  I have many tools from my training at The Couples Institute to help you and your partner build a happier more intimate relationship.
