Relationship Therapy

Relationships are integral to our wellbeing. With them, we feel connected and life has more meaning. Without them, or burdened by dysfunctional ones, everything in our lives can feel overwhelming or lonely. Many of us fear that by sharing our relationship worries, we could be judged or burden those around us. So instead, we settle or push down our own needs and desires.

I will work with you to identify what roles you want certain relationships to play in your life, what boundaries might lead to improvements in your relationships, and how to foster deeper and more meaningful connections.

Working on relationships in individual therapy can look like…

  • Navigating dating burnout

  • Processing a breakup, divorce, or relationship loss

  • Setting boundaries with family members

  • Understanding your relationship patterns and attachment style

  • Expressing needs in friendships

  • Healing from relationship trauma or family of origin issues

Couples Therapy

For some, relationship concerns are better addressed in couples therapy. While processing our romantic relationships individually can provide meaningful insight, having your partner present can help to build more connection and understanding in the moment.

I approach my work with couples from an emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) lens, helping you and your partner to identify your emotional needs and dynamics, cultivate your understanding of one another, and bring you closer together. 

I welcome couples of all genders and sexual identities. 

Couples therapy might be the right fit if…

  • You and your partner have difficulty sharing or talking to each other about your concerns.

  • You and your partner get stuck in the same patterns and nothing seems to change.

  • You and your partner are going through a significant life change, like transitioning to parenthood or job changes, and need space to navigate it together.

  • You and your partner want to strengthen your bond and improve communication.
