Covid fatigue is heightening our stress and relation issues. Loss of what is familiar is challenging. It's time to talk to someone to get a different perspective, new coping method or help with a significant lifestyle change. Grief, anxiety and depression are increasing due to the stress of the pandemic. Issues you are experiencing for yourself, your relationship, marriage and family are heightened causing elevated emotional, spiritual and physical distress. I see you as an individual made of body, soul and spirit in God's image and beleive you are worthy of dignity. I'd like to help you live well through a systemic approach.

Do you identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or have non-traditional relationship dynamics? Do you feel disconnected from your partner(s) or self? We can navigate the barriers which prevent you from having the connections you desire with others and yourself. Do you respond in ways that you just don't understand and feel out of your control at times? Let's work together to understand and change patterns which no longer serve you. Are you unsure of the path you are on and want to embark on a journey that matches with your authentic self, but first need to figure out what that means to you? I can help guide you in self exploration.

Relationships can be messy and sometimes lead to emotional, mental and behavioral issues. At the same time, relationships can also be a source of healing which is why a therapeutic relationship can help in overcoming these difficulties. I have extensive experience working with individuals (both adolescent and adult) and assisting couples and families with relational conflicts. I enjoy helping others gain insight to the causes of their struggles and empowering them to learn to cope with, accept and work through life struggles that would otherwise seem overwhelming and out of their control.

Relationship Issues Therapists
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.
