Dealing with conflicts, emotions, and beliefs—alone or with your partner

In this modern age, dating and relationships are more complicated than ever. We get so many conflicting messages:

Don't come off too clingy, don’t trust too easily, maintain your independence, AND

You need love to feel complete, once you’re coupled up everything is perfect, with the right person love comes easily.

What is missing here is that everything takes work. Finding a compatible partner does not mean that things will be perfect or that they will know how to read your mind and fulfill your every need with perfect communication.

On top of that, each person brings their own baggage into any romantic situation, affected by the relationships they experienced growing up. From a young age, you formed attachment styles, or patterns of how you connect with other people and go about getting your needs met. This does not predict your future, but people typically seek out experiences that reinforce the beliefs they already have. Without gaining awareness, you may repeat negative patterns and continue to reinforce your negative beliefs.

How do you gain more awareness and move towards the relationships you want?

We will work together to:

Explore what role your self-beliefs are playing in your feelings of hurt and/or expectations for relationships
Get in tune with your emotions, learning to recognize and process what comes up
Tackle beliefs that no longer serve you (goodbye, self-fulfilling prophecies)
Become clear about what you really want and take steps towards creating the future you envision

Therapy for One or Two

I work with both individuals and couples on relationship issues. Individuals may choose to work with me alone to gain more self-understanding, or because their partner is unable or unwilling to join. I also work with couples on issues including conflict, attachment, trying to reconnect, and changing their narratives.
