I have experience effectively treating relationship issues, trauma, and adjustment to stressful life issues.
Maybe you don’t feel like yourself and need some help finding a sense of balance in your life. Perhaps you and your partner are not on the same page and you both want help getting back on course. Therapy can help you. Suffering from emotional pain on your own is very difficult. It can feel scary and intimidating reaching out for help. Reaching out to a therapist is an important step towards healing, self-growth, and building resiliency. You have internal strengths such as wisdom and motivation. You are making a great choice looking for someone who can help you mobilize these strengths.

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.
