Individual therapy for relationship issues

You may be here as you have noticed a pattern of unhealthy relationships in your life and are wondering why you keep ending up in the same place. 

You may be in a romantic relationship and are feeling unfulfilled in that relationship but it may be hard to explain why and you are not sure if you should stay. 

Perhaps you are experiencing significant conflict with someone in your life and when you try to talk to that person about it, the problem is never truly resolved, and you feel hurt, angry, or exhausted in a pattern that never gets better.  

We learn a lot about ourselves through our relationships. They are the most important and meaningful things in our lives and can also be the most challenging. Conflict and unhealthy patterns can emerge in relationships and you can wonder is this about me, the other person, or a combination? How do I know and what steps should I take from here?

My approach allows for you to have a neutral space to process your feelings, to learn about relationship patterns and your history and how it has affected you. Looking at these issues deeply without blame or shame will guide you to understand your own pattern of thoughts and behaviors and what you can do about it in order to grow, heal, and move forward now. 

The first part of my career I was a social worker focusing on children and families. This experience taught me first hand how we are deeply affected by our early childhood experiences and how important it is to process them and move forward. I also want to clarify I do not believe in focusing or staying in our past, but acknowledging and understanding it is critical. In doing this, you have the opportunity to not stay stuck in the past or in your current circumstances, and can begin to create the life you want now.
