Relationship Counseling

Are You Struggling In Your Relationship With Your Partner?

Have you lost a sense of fulfillment and happiness in your relationship with your significant other?
Do you feel that tension and conflict are driving you apart?
Is lack of commitment from your partner making you feel anxious and depressed?

It can be hard to feel good about the direction your life is taking when things aren’t going well in your relationship. If you’re worried you might be heading for a break-up, you’re likely feeling depressed, sad, and hopeless. You may find your self-doubt rising to the surface and you’re telling yourself things like, “I’m not lovable,” or, “At this rate, I’m going to end up alone.”

If you’re like most women, you’re probably blaming yourself for the problems you’re experiencing within your relationship. You could be thinking it’s your fault that things aren’t working out because you always attract the wrong person. And perhaps you’ve concluded you entered the relationship with too much emotional baggage for it to succeed or, that because you can’t control your emotions, you’re doomed to fail at all relationships.

Confusion and uncertainty might be running through your mind as you’re second-guessing whether or not you should stay together. Although you may know you want him, you don’t know if you actually like him. Or perhaps you’ve already decided to get out of this unhealthy relationship, but you’re still in love with him and don’t know how to make a break.

Fortunately, relationship counseling on an individual basis can be an invaluable tool for getting to the root of the issues underlying your interpersonal relationships and finding clarity.

Gain Perspective On Yourself And Your Relationship

At the center of my approach to relationship counseling lies the philosophy that your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship of all. To build a healthy, strong, and fulfilling relationship with a partner, you need to have a good understanding of yourself first. Individual counseling can be a journey of self-discovery that will help you examine your past emotional baggage, defense mechanisms, fears, and insecurities, as well as your strengths and aspirations.

You also need good communication skills for your relationship with your partner to flourish. Learning to assertive and to set boundaries is particularly important if you’re experiencing relationship-related stress or anxiety. My therapeutic approach will focus on how to successfully set these boundaries and ways to positively express what you want and need from your partner.

When you focus on your relationship with yourself, you’ll have a better understanding of how to face the problems you’re encountering with your partner.

The techniques mastered in our sessions together will underscore the power of your mind. And when you master your mind, good things — like a fulfilling relationship — naturally follow.

In our first session together, we will determine what your primary goals are for relationship counseling, whether it is to improve your relationship, help decide if you should end it, or how best to embark on a potential future relationship. We will explore your history (including lifestyle, past relationships, major life events, and family background) to get an idea of what has led you to where you are today, as well as discuss what your life goals are outside of your relationship.

With 15 years of clinical training and practice as a licensed mental health professional, relationship issues are one of the areas I help my clients with the most. By employing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) you will gain self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-love.

Discover The Key To A Loving Relationship By Learning To Love Yourself

Whether you are in between committed relationships or have experienced difficulty navigating dating and courtships, relationship counseling is a highly effective opportunity for evaluating your history and identifying how you learned to engage in intimate partnerships. It will provide you a better understanding of yourself—your preferences, values, self-beliefs, and emotional responses—that can affect your decision-making throughout the dating journey. Relationship counseling can help you process your unresolved feelings from past relationships and dating experiences so that you can move forward to the next chapter of your life with confidence and optimism.

Examining the relationship you have with yourself is the key to entering into and sustaining healthy intimate relationships. Relationship counseling can help give you a much deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions which can lead to a healthier relationship with your partner.
