So…what’s your story of disconnection?
Before becoming parents, you and your partner enjoyed the feeling of being emotionally connected, and the ease of intimacy and affection.
But having kids has made it so difficult to stay focused and present in your relationship!
You know you want to reconnect with your partner, but you don’t know where to start.
I’m, Abby.
I’m a couples therapist and relationship coach.
I live in upstate NY with my two wonderful school-age kids and amazing husband of almost 20 years.
And like you, my spouse and I have been deeply invested in our romantic relationship, but struggled in the transition to parenthood. We, too, have had to work hard to maintain a secure, connected relationship once we had kids.
As a couples therapist, my practice has been focused on helping couples find their way back to each other after babies are born. My work with couples over the past 15 years has helped me really tune into what couples are needing and wanting, and which specific skills and habits are needed to get there.
Decades of research has shown us that there are proven strategies for reestablishing closeness. So many couples could benefit from not only learning these skills and habits, but having support to implement them.
I created the Dream Together workshop because I wanted more couples to have access to the tools they need to start taking steps towards reconnection.

This workshop has 4 parts:
First, I’ll go in depth into the 4 common reasons that couples get disconnected after having kids. Then I’ll walk you through a conversation with your partner to explore the specific ways disconnection happened.
After getting clear on how you got here, I’ll invite you dream together about what you really want your relationship to look like NOW. You’ll be guided through this process with specific questions to talk through as you both imagine what life together could look like.
Next, I’ll teach you the best ways to create an actionable, realistic plan to take steps towards your goals.
And finally, we’ll address any barriers or obstacles that you anticipate might get in the way of putting your plan in place.
You’ll also walk away with…
A downloadable worksheet you and your partner can use to create your plan for connection!

You might be wondering...
Is this workshop only for couples to do together? What if my partner can’t or won’t join me?
No worries! This workshop is ideal for couples to do together, but you’ll still find it useful if you do it on your own and share later with your partner. If you want to ask your partner to join you first but are not sure about how to ask, you might try something like this:
“Hey babe, I know we’ve been more disconnected lately and have been wanting to figure out how to feel close again. I found this workshop that I think would be really helpful. Would you be willing to give it a try with me?”
It’s time to start taking steps toward reconnecting with your partner!
The Dream Together workshop is the perfect way to start having more meaningful conversations with your partner about what you’re missing and wanting in your relationship.
Get started on the workshop today for only $27.
See you soon!
