Relationship Issues

Are you feeling trapped in negative relationship patterns, feeling disconnected from your partner, or struggling to heal from relationship trauma or betrayal? I'm here to provide compassionate guidance and support as you navigate these challenges. Together, we can work towards rebuilding trust, improving communication, and fostering a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

After learning self regulation and reducing triggers, I might utilize training in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), to help clients improve communication, actually learn the skill of listening, heal emotional wounds, and strengthen connections in relationships, fostering trust and healthier patterns.

I understand that relationship challenges can often stem from past traumas or adversity. In our work together, I’ll help you recognize the patterns and habits that influence your daily interactions with yourself and those you love. By gaining awareness of how these habits affect your thoughts and feelings, we can foster greater compassion and acceptance. This journey of self-discovery will lead to meaningful growth and positive change in your relationships

Relationships are a part of everything we do, from family to partners to our school/work environments, which means relationship challenges can come up anywhere. I take an ecosystemic approach to supporting with relationship needs, which means I take into consideration not only past relationship experiences, but a client's entire environment and system in order to best support with processing and healing difficult relationship needs. This can be done individually, or with others in sessions.

I specialize in addressing a wide range of relationship issues, helping individuals and couples navigate challenges such as communication breakdowns, trust concerns, and emotional disconnect. With a focus on enhancing interpersonal skills, I employ evidence-based strategies to facilitate understanding and resolve conflicts. My approach is grounded in empathy and active listening, creating a safe environment where clients can explore their feelings and experiences.

I assist folx in navigating interpersonal relationships and dynamics in individual as well as couple sessions. This is based in trauma informed approach, attachment theory and the belief that humans are innately relational.

My strong understanding of attachment and relationship dynamics will help us identify and explore alternatives to the relational patterns you wish to change.

Even the best of relationships have struggles. If unaddressed, over time, these interactions can they harden into acting out, mistrust, and resentment. This also holds true for couples and families. In both relational dynamics the stories we tell ourselves often become 'facts' rather than 'perspective,' resulting in escalating conflict and injury to the relationship. Therapy can correct unhelpful interactions, change unfair perceptions, and heal old wounds, while fostering growth and healing.

Relationships are built through healthy communication and understanding. I am trained in Gottman Level II therapy and utilize this approach in teaching couples how to reconnect and create a healthier, happier relationship.

Let's improve that communication! Communication goes both ways: creating space in yourself to honor and express your wants, needs, and desires and holding space to value and receive your partner's wants, needs, and desires, in turn. I work to help you and your partner develop a loving, open connection with each other. Understanding your own and your partner's backgrounds, stressors, and familial relationships can help to bridge the gap to authentic connection in your relationship.

I provide supportive care to couples and individuals dealing with relationship issues. Communication, teamwork, intimacy and conflict-resolution skills are invaluable focuses of my approach to working through relationship issues. I am able to see multiple points of view in a conflict, and believe there is always a way forward no matter how difficult the situation may seem.

Draining relationships suck up your time, cause you stress, make you question your worth, and who you are. Without clarity, your interactions continue to be unfulfilling and nothing changes. In therapy, we will take a look at your attachment styles and how you participate in relationships. We will examine roles within relationships and identify unhealthy dynamics. Prioritizing communication, resolving conflict, and establishing boundaries.

We all have relationship issues! Having worked in the field for over 30 years, it's a given that I have encountered relationship concerns many times. However, I am quite skilled in teasing out the specific issues that contribute to relationship problems. I can identify whether your problems are stemming from attachment related issues, codependency, social anxiety, trauma or other factors. Together we'll resolve these issues so you can have the healthy relationships you desire.

For relationship issues, I create a space where clients can process their relationship and how they see themselves in relation to it. I offer psychoeducation on communication skills, conflict resolution, love languages, and coping skills to best support clients in their relationships with others and themselves. I am careful to help clients determine what is best for them without giving advice.

As a therapist specializing in relationship issues, I am here to help you navigate the complexities of connection, communication, and intimacy. Whether you are facing challenges in a romantic partnership, familial relationships, or friendships, we will work together to identify patterns, address conflicts, and develop healthier ways to relate to others. My goal is to support you in creating more fulfilling and meaningful relationships that foster growth, understanding, and emotional well-being.

I have experience working on general relationship issues as well as interpersonal relationship trauma. Utilizing a strengths based and trauma-informed approach to address any struggles or traumas that have occurred.

Connection is essential for a fulfilling life. Together, we will explore what may be blocking you from the relationships you deserve. This process may involve diving deep into our therapeutic relationship, examining the unspoken rules you hold about how relationships should function, and considering participation in one of my interpersonal process groups. Through experiential, depth-oriented, and group psychotherapy, we can uncover insights that pave the way for healthier connection.

I use Attachment Theory as a way to identify patterns of clients' behaviors in their relationships as well as conflict management strategies to utilize to create healthier, more productive and honest communication and in interpersonal relationships (family, friends, romantic partners, etc.)

I help both individuals and couples in navigating relationship challenges by fostering improved communication, deeper emotional understanding, and effective conflict resolution. My approach integrates the Gottman Method for couples and personalized therapeutic techniques for individuals, focusing on self-awareness and relational dynamics to promote healthier interactions and personal growth.
