Business Partnership and Other Relational Counseling

We need conflict because:

• It provides an opportunity for us to ask for what we need, thereby practicing belief in our own value and worth;

• It lets us know that another person is engaged (not aloof);

• It helps us learn what is really important;

• It provides an opportunity to care for self and others in equal measure;

• It helps us gain insight into others’ points of view;

• It allows us to go beneath superficial niceties and relate as true, authentic beings;

• It strengthens our bonds.

Through facilitated dialog, I help adult family members, friends, co-workers, and business partners open up to the process of conflict resolution in a way that leaves both parties feeling satisfied enough that there is no lingering resentment and instead, a secure feeling that the two parties can work through hard times and come back together stronger.
