Therapy for Relationships
What if you could navigate and resolve conflict in your relationship in a healthy way? What if communicating how you feel was easy and safe?
You miss feeling like you’re on the same page. You’re tired of constantly feeling on edge; like the next fight or miscommunication is just around the corner. You want to feel heard and understood, but when it comes to actually communicating how you feel it never goes according to plan. You are feeling more lonely and disconnected - but the cracks are starting to show and you know that something has to give.
You’re in the right place.
In therapy, you will learn how to communicate in a safe and healthy way (even when talking about the hard stuff) while getting to the heart of what is getting in the way.
Relationship Therapy for Couples
You and your partner want to reconnect, but you don’t know where to start. You feel stuck in a pattern of conflict and frustration, desperately seeking those moments of peace and connection.
Whether the challenges you’re facing as a couple are misunderstood expectations, difficulty resolving conflict, finances, child-rearing issues, infidelity, or a lack of intimacy, the good news is that the problem is never the problem. How you and your partner have been attempting to solve the problem is the problem.
In therapy, I can help you and your partner learn how to communicate and navigate difficult topics. We’ll examine the patterns of behavior demonstrated by each partner, known as your attachment style, and explore how these patterns are impacting and influencing your relationship. Together, you’ll learn how to accept your past and show up in the present in a more confident and aligned partnership. Through learning how to accept and attune yourselves to each other, you’ll experience a more authentic and fulfilled relationship.
Relationship Therapy for Families
You feel disconnected as a family. You’re stuck in a cycle of conflict and feel like you can’t break through the walls being put up. You want to erase these destructive patterns and restore your family unit, but your family struggles to be open and honest with each other. Connecting through vulnerability is uncomfortable and avoided at all costs.
It’s possible for your family to learn how to be vulnerable and communicate more effectively. In therapy, we’ll work on rebuilding trust and creating more peace and harmony in the home. We’ll work through big decisions and areas of conflict in a healthy and safe environment to support you in connecting and understanding each other.
Relationship Therapy for New Beginnings
You’ve been asking yourself, “Do I have commitment issues or is this not the right relationship for me?” You want to feel confident in yourself and in your decision making, but your conflicting emotions and experiences in your past have left you doubting yourself. You want to build a healthy relationship and get to a healthy place within yourself, but you’re entangled in feelings of anxiety and distrust and you need support in navigating your way out.
Whether you’re leaving a relationship or starting a new one, therapy can help you process your experiences and consciously seek and cultivate the healthy connections you are yearning for. Through therapy, we’ll navigate how to build healthy relationships while learning how to understand, embrace, and honor attachment style and your emotions and what they are communicating. You’ll learn how to connect more deeply with yourself, which will support you in creating deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
Together, we’ll focus on:
Setting healthy boundaries & improving communication
Navigating difficult moments & feeling more confident having vulnerable conversations
Balancing personal wellbeing & the wellbeing of your relationship
Reconnecting & rediscovering your relationship
Understanding your unique attachment style & relational needs
