Relationship Issues Therapists in Livermore, CA
This relationship has you tied in knots. You’ve twisted yourself around this person for so long that you barely recognize who you are anymore. You’ve tried to end it before, but somehow you always wind up back together – trapped in the same unhealthy cycle. You’re constantly walking on eggshells, filled with anxiety, second-guessing every move, fearing that one small misstep will spark another round of berating. You try so hard to please, bending over backwards, but nothing is ever good enough. It’s overwhelming. You can’t sleep. You can’t eat. You feel trapped and hopeless. You know this can’t go on.

My role is to bring awareness to patterns in your relationship that may breed disconnection.
Are you in a relationship where you do not feel heard by one another? Do you notice that you continually fight about the same things over and over? Do you feel more disconnected from your partner than ever? I work with couples at varying stages in their relationship to improve their connection, communication, repair after disagreements, and to ultimately breed more joy into their relationship. This may mean that your relationship needs assistance during a major life transition (living together, parenting, separation, healing from infidelity, family conflict, etc.).

No one taught any of us how to do this; you may know quantum physics and still not know how to successfully solve relationship conflicts.
Is conflict tearing your relationship apart? Every relationship has conflict, but no one really teaches us how to have healthy conflict or steps to follow to practice it. I can teach you this! Conflict is a skill, and you can get better at it. Not only that, but if you practice healthy conflict, you'll increase your intimacy and have a closer relationship. I know it sounds counterintuitive but I've seen it happen over and over. You don't have to be stuck in this pattern; I promise.

With cross-cultural living and working experiences, I enjoy working with children, teens, and their parents to help address developmental challenges, relationship conflicts, emotional struggles, behavioral difficulties, and other mental health issues that they may encounter in daily life. I deeply believes that childhood experiences and parent-child relationships could play an extremely important role in one’s personal development and, by helping to build a secure enough emotional bond among family members, can create a power of healing throughout everyone’s life.

Most couples come in with at least one partner unsure if the relationship will survive.
Are you looking for a couples therapist? Are you and your partner living parallel lives? Have you lost a sense of connection and intimacy? Do you find yourselves frustrated, arguing about the same things over and over again? Is it hard to see eye-to-eye on parenting, finances, or division of labor around the house?

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
