Kimberly Parker APC, NCC
You love each other deeply, you just want to make sure you’re set up for long-term relational health.
Maybe you’re here because you and your partner have recently been going through a rough patch, or maybe you have felt stuck in the same problem areas for a long time. Either way, you both want help figuring out how to move forward in a new way together.
Most of my couples say they love each other fiercely and are very happy together often. However, they also feel stuck with the way they fight or the things they fight about. It can leave both partners feeling unheard, exhausted, and even resentful or discouraged.
You are not alone; We are in this together.
In our sessions, there will be equal space and empathy for all partners - no one person will be viewed as “the problem.” I am here to help slow you down and peel back the layers of what is underneath these ruts you continuously find yourself in. My goal is to help you both feel more understood and cared for.
Our work together will go beyond surface level problem solving. You will learn more than you thought possible about yourself and partner so you are able to connect deeper than ever before. We will explore how the relationship with your parents in childhood formed the way you attach to others in relationship now. By learning why we do what we do, we can better understand what we need in order to do things differently.
You deserve a healthy and happy relationship.
Unfortunately, most of us didn’t have the best model of a healthy relationship. Because of this, you missed out on the knowledge needed to really thrive in partnership. The good news is you can learn together, now. I am here to walk with you each step of the way.
Through deeper vulnerability + empathy, skills for healthier communication, and a new-found ability to regulate your nervous system, your relationship is able to finally get past its’ stuck points. I promise to really listen, be direct, and give practical tools to utilize at home that create lasting change.
Let’s get started!
I help take care of you by also taking care of me. My forms of self-care include: cuddling up with my fiancé + our Great Pyrenees pup - Atlas, moving my body gently through yoga, exploring new coffee shops + restaurants, and reminding myself how vast the world is through travel.
