Michelle Lorenz, MFT

Relationships are a dance; there is a rhythm of connection, disconnection, and reconnection. The music and how we move is layered with our histories, fantasies about the future, and whatever is happening in the moment. Inevitably, it gets tricky to hear each other and sync harmoniously. Even the most resilient and well-resourced partners, when faced with enough stressors, stumble, fall, and find they are unsure how to stabilize, regain footing, get up, and move forward.
