Relationship Issues

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.

When relationship issues like infidelity, sexual dysfunction, and communication barriers come up, I utilize cognitive processing therapy in conjunction with emotional feeling therapy where perceptions, emotions, and feelings are processed. I then with you to create healthier solutions, by collaborating and understanding what behaviors and patterns are no longer healthy for you and your relationship.

In treating modern relationship issues, I focus on communication, trust, and adapting to changing dynamics. Today's relationships face unique challenges and complexities, work-life balance, and evolving social norms. My approach involves helping couples and individuals navigate these challenges by fostering open communication, rebuilding trust, and developing strategies to adapt to contemporary relationship dynamics.

When working on relationship issues, I utilize my training with The Gottman Institute to help couples build their trust and commitment to one another, get on the same page, and build skills in communication. I also use my training in attachment to help couples understand how their early relationships affect how we have learned to relate to others as adults.

My training in EFT, attachment theory, and sex therapy informed techniques, allows my clients to develop communication skills, healthy boundaries, self attunement and regulation, in order to create meaningful, co-conscious relationships, and break out of unfulfilling patterns of relating. I want to help you create a secure attachment and trust from within, and help you embody your most authentic self in every relationship you encounter. My approach is inclusive of all relationships.

As a trained marriage and family therapist, my therapeutic lens is systemic. Relational distress can occur with family, partners, friends, neighbors, or coworkers. Our past experiences, expectations, needs, and attachment styles can teach us how to have "better" relationships as well as showing us places we can grow. From deep-rooted family conflict to everyday miscommunication, individual relational therapy can grow skills and insight into the innerworkings of relationships.

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 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.

Relationship Issues often manifest in various forms, from communication breakdowns to loss of intimacy and even the heart-wrenching experience of infidelity. When trust is shattered by affairs, it prompts profound pain and myriad questions, including the haunting "why?". As your therapist, I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to explore these challenges. Together, we can delve deep into understanding the reasons behind straying, offering insights into the dynamics.

I support clients who have a wide range of dynamics in their close relationships, either with friends, family, work or romantic partners as well as those who are experiencing a lack of closeness. I believe that the roles and patterns that we play in relationships develop for a good reason, and that having awareness of them can offer us increased freedom, creativity and resilience in how respond in our relationships with others.

I do a lot of work with clients trying to break longstanding patterns of relationship dysfunction, and help them develop capacity for: - Better boundaries - Self-advocacy - Reigning in interpersonal reactivity - Greater self-confidence I have helped clients relate better to their partners, and have helped adults relate better to their children, their own adult parents, sibling, and others.

Relationships with others, and ourselves, can lead to so much stress. This is especially true when we’ve been taught to take care of others’ needs, but not of our own. Learn how to let go of the beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck in, unfulfilling relationships. This will not be easy, but it is entirely possible.

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.

Are you hoping to re-connect with a partner or loved one, improve assertive communication, establish healthy boundaries? Maybe you realize it's time to break free from a relationship or situationship that's depleting your energy and confidence.

I help client improve relationships with partners, family members, co-workers, and friends.

Relationships are hard. Whether you are struggling with work relationships, romantic relationships, friendships, or family relationships, understanding how your early life experiences and your first meaningful relationships (usually with your parents) have informed your relational patterns in adulthood may be the revelation your looking for. I love working with individuals and couples who are curious about how they show up in relationships,
