Relationship Issues

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.

Relationship issues can arise in all relationships, not just romantic ones. All relationships require effort. At times, we may find ourselves stuck in negative patterns in our relationships with family members, siblings, coworkers, friends, and romantic partners. By better understanding unhealthy relational patterns from the past and present, it becomes possible to set healthy boundaries, improve communication, and strengthen connections with oneself and others.

I help individuals and couples address relationship challenges by improving communication, rebuilding trust, $ deepening emotional connection. Using an eclectic approach, including attachment theory, CBT, and emotionally focused techniques, I guide clients in breaking unhealthy patterns and fostering understanding. Whether navigating conflict, intimacy issues, or past wounds, I provide a supportive space to create lasting, meaningful change. Healthy relationships take effort—let’s work together

Many of my clients are interested in more deeply understanding their relationship struggles and interpersonal patterns, whether with partners, friends, family, or coworkers. This often includes helping clients who yearn to increase their sense of meaningful connection with others.

Relationship therapy helps people in relationships connect with one another. What is getting in the way for you? Let's figure it out together and increase communication and connection. Some common areas of focus include: -Increasing intimacy and sexual connection -Defining relationship values and developing a shared vision for the future -Addressing challenges emerging from breaches of trust, trauma and loss -Identifying and addressing old trauma that is getting in the way of connection

Most people have been in at least one unhealthy relationship in their life. Codependency, abuse, neglect, communication issues, and self-esteem are some of the things that lead to us having relationship issues. These are all things that can be changed with a little bit of work. Together we can work on these things so you can have relationships that are healthy and fulfilling for you.

Even the best relationships have struggles. If unaddressed, these interactions can they harden into acting out, mistrust, and resentment. In relational dynamics the stories we tell ourselves often become 'facts' rather than 'perspectives,' resulting in escalating conflict and injury to the relationship. Therapy can help correct unhelpful interactions, change unfair perceptions, and heal old wounds, while fostering growth and healing.

I work with adult couples, partners and spouses on mid to late life issues. This may include intimacy and sexuality in new and mature relationships; infidelity, betrayal and lack of trust; caregiving for a partner with health conditions; reconnecting after empty nesting, retirement and relocation.

Are you feeling disconnected from the people around you? Are you struggling with healthy communication or setting boundaries? Everyone could use some support with improving their relationships - romantic, friendship, familial, etc. Learn how to connect more with your community.

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.

Relationships are never easy! Are you hoping to develop a better relationship with yourself and feel more confident in your body image? Are you hoping to have a more secure relationship with your peers and feel less anxious about how they would think about you? Do you wish to find the right person, the one and only? Or did you hope to rebuild a healthier relationship with your parents but find it helpless? Book a call! Let's see where we should begin with!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in addressing relationship issues like communication breakdowns, trust, and emotional disconnection. My systemic approach considers the complex web of relationships influencing your situation. I create a supportive environment for partners to explore their feelings, identify needs, and develop effective strategies to enhance their relationship, fostering positive, secure connections that improve overall well-being.

When addressing relationship issues, I delve into your past and present relational patterns, attachment styles, and the influence of early family dynamics. We'll examine how these factors contribute to your current relationship difficulties, helping you understand your role in recurring conflicts and unhealthy interactions. By addressing unconscious motivations and unresolved conflicts from early relationships, you can gain insight into your behavior and emotional responses.

Relationships—monogamous, polyamorous, or otherwise—offer a path to deeper self-awareness, revealing patterns we often learned in childhood. Whether you're seeking more fulfilling connections, facing challenges, or discerning whether to stay or go, therapy can bring clarity and empowerment. With lived experience in polyamory and years supporting diverse relationships, I offer an affirming, sex-positive, kink/BDSM-friendly space to explore what healthy, authentic connections look like for you.

Relationship issues are a cornerstone of my therapy. We do not exist in vacuums; our interactions with others (or lack thereof) are a vital part of our daily functioning. Whether you are seeking to improve your communication skills, build a healthier social circle, take a scary step to pursue a relationship, or just understand more about why you are the way you are, therapy can be a wonderful tool to aid in this process.

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 and finding a path forward.

I specialize in providing therapy for relationship issues, particularly in the areas of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, narcissistic abuse, and high-conflict relationships. With deep expertise in these challenging dynamics, I help individuals and couples navigate complex emotional landscapes, identify patterns of abuse, and rebuild healthy boundaries. My goal is to empower clients to heal, regain control, and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships moving forward.

Relationships can be tough, but they don’t have to stay stuck. We’ll identify the dynamics that are keeping you disconnected and work on building deeper intimacy and trust. Whether you’re struggling with communication, boundaries, or emotional closeness, we’ll find ways to transform your relationship into one that feels more connected, supportive, and aligned with the love and partnership you truly want. Together, we’ll create the foundation for lasting connection and happiness.

I am passionate about helping people navigate difficult relationship dynamics that come up in their life. Sometimes it might be at work, or in their personal life. I love offering a judgement free, connected environment to process different issues that arise in day to day life. I am Gestalt trained and EFIT trained, giving me the tools I need to help clients move through these challenges.
