Loved providing therapy to this pair of friends missing their friendship, helping them find new ways to stay in touch and address any underlying resentments or conflicts along the way.

She Got A Boyfriend & Forgot I Existed
Ever have a good friend ghost you after they start dating someone? This next episode I help two friends better understand how to talk about this, when it happens. Check it out!
In the honeymoon phase of any relationship, we can sometimes inadvertently neglect our friends and family. While this is common enough because we're excited about a new romantic interest in our lives, it's important to not lose sight of the other people and passions we love. Being able to find a new normal where we integrate those that matter most can sometimes require a conversation like these two friends had. How have you navigated a BFF falling in-love and spending less time with you?

She Never Approved Of My Husband
What happens when you don’t like your friend’s new partner? Navigating these prickly waters can be super challenging.
Rewarding long-term friendships shift and change as our responsibilities and priorities shift. Not all will be able to adapt to this but consistently reciprocating, spending enough quality time together and attending to them gives them the most chance of success and longevity. What qualities do you look for in a long-term friendship?
