Relationship Issues

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.

Whether you are an individual, couple, co-worker, or family member seeking support around relational issues - Let me help you to: improve communication skills, make changes in your relationships that have a real and lasting impact, develop a greater appreciation for relationship differences and how they can add value to your life - and explore what brings your life meaning and purpose.

I help clients improve relationships: partners, family members, co-workers, friends.

Marriage Counseling Attachment Healing Values Clarification Self Acceptance

I have 20 years of experience specializing in supporting people to work on their relationship difficulties by addressing the ways in which their family of origin experiences and unhealed childhood attachment wounds organize what they are looking for in relationships, how they show up in relationships, and how to engage in relationships that are affirming and uplifting.

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 we don't see the part we play, we often repeat the pattern with the next partner. 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.

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.

Marie specializes in couples and family therapy and is dedicated to helping you to build healthier and more fulfilling connections.

I have supported clients working through a wide range of challenging relationship issues, from difficult parents to contentious divorces. Though often painful, I find that when these challenges are brought to therapy, they offer clients a unique opportunity-- not just to improve the relationship, but to get to know (and heal) parts of themselves that are not always so close to the surface.

Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, I help clients to improve their ability to communicate and be vulnerable with their loved ones. I often work with individuals and couples who are looking to improve their relationships; this often begins by working on one's relationship to oneself.

Are you finding yourself repeating patterns in relationships, whether it's with romantic partners, family members, or friends? Relationships are a vital part of our lives, and issues within them can lead to issues within us. That is why I believe in therapy as a tool for learning to break unhelpful patterns and develop insight into our relationships so that you can enjoy the intimacy and beauty that comes from healthy relationships.

I have experience working with couples and will help you and your partner communicate, solve problems, restore trust, and increase your emotional and physical intimacy. I teach each partner how to communicate feelings, reasons, and solutions to your partner using a soft approach. We will practice communication and reflective listening skills in sessions and goals for you to incorporate solutions outside of sessions.

Friendships, family relationships, and intimate relationships can be tough to navigate!

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.

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.

Because I specialize in sex therapy provision, I often encounter challenges in relationships. Whether your relationship issues center on ineffective communication, differing values, or sexuality challenges, I believe it is possible to emerge from these difficulties with a strong sense of who you are and what you want in your relationships.

we all struggle with navigating relationship issues, whether it's with friends, coworkers, bio family/ family of origin, significant other/ partner relationships/ configurations, pets, spiritual relationships (ancestors, higher power), our relationship with ourselves, with our bodies, & more. For most of us, the way that we "get better" is IN relationship, having corrective experiences in healthier relationships, & therapy is one place we can experience that.

Much of my work is supporting women who are feeling overwhelmed by expectations that they are to juggle work outside of the home while also balancing much of the invisible labor in the home. Realistic expectations for you and support on how to communicate your needs effectively can be a large part of our work together.
