Ananya was extremely helpful in helping me to recognize historical negative behaviors that were impending my ability to grow and develop a deeper relationship with my partner. Ananya helped my partner and I learn effective methods to communicate and set achievable goals. I used those tools other areas of my life as well.
While my partner and I still disagree on a variety of topics that are emotionally charged, we can escalate the discussion faster and not have it turn into an argument. My work with Ananya has been very positive and I would highly recommend her.
