Relationship Issues

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.

I help clients navigate relationship issues, particularly cis-het marriage concerns common for many women, including overwhelming mental load and inequitable distribution of domestic and emotional labor within the home.

Sometimes the things that hurt us the most are other people. I'm here for you when you need support learning how to be in healthy relationship with other humans, or even yourself. I have experience in conflict resolution, relationship satisfaction, building and maintaining friendship, positive self-regard, and self-worth.

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.

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

Relationships are hard. I work with a lot of individuals who are either learning to identify or are recovering from toxic relationships or who just have had trouble maintaining healthy relationships. We all carry wounds from previous relationships, and we can look to our partner to heal them for us, but it turns out, that doesn't work, and it's really an inside job. By improving communication, conflict resolution, and identifying our own triggers as well as strengths, we can grow.

I pull from 50 years of research on effective communication techniques to help you have transformative conversations and learn concrete tools that will improve your relationships with your partner or your family members. We will break patterns of conflict that have you feeling far apart from one another as well as build a greater sense of emotional intimacy and connection.

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.

Relationships can be our greatest source of resilience or challenge. I work from a systemic and narrative perspective to help you sort through your most meaningful connections.

For relationship issues, I create a space where clients can process their relationship and how they see themselves in relation to it. I offer psychoeducation on communication skills, conflict resolution, love languages, and coping skills to best support clients in their relationships with others and themselves. I am careful to help clients determine what is best for them without giving advice.

I believe that partnerships provide miraculous opportunities to heal and grow. I create a safe space for partners to build a deep and lasting transformation with improved communication, mutual empathy, and a renewed (or new) intimacy. My approach is integrative and includes a mind-body awareness, experiential techniques, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy (grounded in attachment theory), and intuition.

I offer a supportive space for individuals and couples to navigate relational challenges. My focus includes communication improvement, conflict resolution, intimacy enhancement, and trust rebuilding. Using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I aim to foster healthy, fulfilling relationships. My goal is to empower clients to develop stronger connections, improve emotional intimacy, and build lasting relational resilience.

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.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate complicated relationship dynamics in their life. Together we identify any areas of strength, struggle, and areas for improvement. We build and practice communication skills and techniques as well as boundary setting.

I provide psychotherapy to couples who are seeking to heal their relationship, and couples who are also transitioning to the end of their relationship. I utilize a trauma-informed approach blended with interventions from the Gottman model of couples therapy. I do not accept insurance for couples therapy. Couples therapy sessions are private pay at the rate of $250 for an approximately 90-minute session.
