Relationship Issues

You may feel drained from trying to be all things to everyone and often neglecting your needs. You don’t need to conform to others’ expectations. Together, we can explore your relationship with yourself and with others to identify patterns that do not serve you well.

I can help you explore how your early experiences may be impacting your present day relationships. Therapy is a place where you can learn more about your patterns and work on trying something new by increasing self-awareness, exploring any history of attachment trauma and the impact it has had on you, exploring and working with your beliefs about relationships and dating, and offering you skills and encouragement to get out of your comfort zone to build the kinds of relationships you long for.

Whether your partner will come in or not, you can work on your relationship. Maybe you are unsure if you want to stay or you would like to exam what went wrong in a previous relationship.

If you see that relationships are hard for you or that you keep picking the wrong person, therapy can help you identify patterns, thoughts and beliefs you have that may be contributing to it.
