Relationship Issues

Sometimes the things that hurt us the most are other people. I'm here for you when you need support learning how to be in healthy relationship with other humans, or even yourself.

I offer a supportive space for relationship therapy, encompassing not only romantic partnerships, but also friendships and roommate relationships. Together, we'll delve into the systems that influence your relationships, untangling complex dynamics and fostering deeper connections. This process empowers you and your loved ones to communicate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and ultimately, enhance the quality of your relationships.

I work with all couples (married/committed relationships, heterosexual, LGBTQ+, CNM, etc). I can help you focus on seeing each other with compassion and curiosity rather than blame. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for relationships to help you track your cycle of conflict and understand for yourself and your partner what lies beneath those reactions.

I work with individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum who are struggling with relationship concerns. Common focus points include low self-esteem, fears surrounding emotional vulnerability, assertiveness, recognizing and communicating needs, intimacy, approach/avoidance conflicts, attachment and codependency.

Relationship issues can mean a lot of different things to so many people. Any issues that revolve around your romantic relationships weather that is in a monogamous, polygamist or a polyamorous relationship.

Gain a new perspective on your relationships and the patterns that keep you stuck. Develop skills that will help you experience more confidence, security, and connection in your relationships with yourself and those around you.

Whether you come in with a romantic partner or solo, I support you in healing yourself and in discovering and changing unhelpful patterns in relationships that are getting in the way of the satisfying connection you're longing for. I practice relationship sensitive individual therapy which means I support you in thinking about your relationship from all angles and develop insight into yourself as well as others.

Relationship issues cover a vast array of areas in our lives. We have relationships with our immediate families, extended families, friends, romantic partners, co-workers, and supervisors -- just to name a few! At times, these relationships can become complex, or even toxic to our well-being. Understanding how to best navigate your current relationships, and even uncover patterns of relating, can greatly improve your relationships and reduce overall stress in your life.

I support women on their journey to having more satisfying relationships in their lives. I help to address relationship issues such as codependency, boundaries, communication, and advocating for self. I typically support women in their relationships with romantic partners, siblings, parents, colleagues, and friends. I also work with adult children of emotionally immature parents and narcissist abuse.

I have additional training in Gottman Method couples counseling. This research-driven, practical approach focuses on defusing verbal conflicts, enhancing intimacy, respect, and affection, eliminating barriers leading to a feeling of stagnancy, and fostering a deep sense of empathy and understanding within the relationship.

Do you find yourself losing touch with yourself while you’re in relationship to others? It doesn't have to be this way. I help women stay grounded and empowered in their relationships so they can finally feel more secure and satisfied in their connections. I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to individual therapy for relationship issues utilizes relationship attachment expertise and mindful compassion.

Dating in modern times is not for the faint of heart. Going on bad dates, getting ghosted, or giving second (and third and fourth) chances to people who continue to let you down doesn’t inspire optimism, either. But let me assure you, you deserve to have all your needs met in your relationships. In therapy, we can define who your ideal partner would be. Then, we’ll work to reinforce your sense of self-worth so you don’t settle for anything less.

In the hectic modern world, it's easy to feel disconnected from people to whom we should feel the closest. It can be just as difficult to feel truly connected with yourself, your dreams and your goals. By getting in touch with your values and goals, you'll find new ways to enrich all of your relationships.

Relationships are important to each of us in one way or another. Whether it's a relationship we slowly developed over time or it's a relationship we didn't really have a chose in, such as family. Either way they are an important part of our human existence. I've had the opportunity to help others overcome relationship issues and better identify how to build healthier relationships. A primary focus in working with relationship issues is learning how to establish clear boundaries and intentions.

Relationship therapy services (which can also be combined with sex therapy) are ideal for individuals, couples and those in multiple relationship arrangements who would like to: Get a preventative tune-up for their relationship Grow and evolve their relationship to the next level Explore how cultural background may play out in relationship conflicts and learn how to bridge these differences Identify patterns of conflict that repeatedly come up Get "unstuck" from repeating patterns

Sometimes the things that hurt us the most are other people. I'm here for you when you need support learning how to be in healthy relationship with other humans, or even yourself. I have experience in conflict resolution, relationship satisfaction, building and maintaining friendship, positive self-regard, and self-worth.

Communication is a key element in relationships. It is important to trust your partner and feel safe. Learn skills to communicate and feel connected in your relationships.

My clients might struggle with making dating connections, making or keeping friends, or have conflictual relationships with their partners, friends, or families. My goal is help you understand more about why you are the way you are, how to tweak the things that aren't working, and develop tolerance and understand for your own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.

Many relationship issues are rooted in past trauma or adversity. Our team specializes in helping clients heal from past trauma and live more fulfilling lives. We offer individual, couples, family, and group sessions focused on enhancing relationships.
