Real Relationships

Jul 20 2023 • 35 mins

I'm diving into something more personal in this special episode.

Unlike our usual format, it's just you and me as I step into both the host and the expert role. I'll take you behind the scenes of my daily life, addressing the common questions clients ask a relationship therapist like myself. Each segment will begin with a question, prompting you to ponder whether it's true or false before I share my perspective based on my experience.

So, get ready for an enlightening and thought-provoking adventure as we delve into the realm of relationships, therapy, and the intricate nature of human connections!
