I am solution-focused and Cognitive Behavioral and Narrative Therapies act as a foundation; Internal Family Systems, DBT, and psychodynamic theories provide some of my favorite therapy Ideas and tools. Through our work together, we will explore the changes you want to make and the best way to make those changes. I believe in you!

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.
