THERAPY FOR RELATIONSHIPS

Navigating conflict, communication breakdowns and emotional complexity for couples, families & coworkers

The spiritual teacher, Ram Dass, sagely said, “If you think you’re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.” To simplify that: relationships are hard. 

So let’s go ahead and dispel right now the myth of “If this were ‘meant to be,’ it would be easy.” That fantasy of some effortless, flowing Eden, where you just get each other, was created to fill movie theatre seats. It’s why Titanic grossed over $2 billion.

The reality is that relationships require ongoing work to navigate challenges such as:

• Different, conflictual personality types

• Unresolved issues from past or current relationships

• Conflicts around vacations, holidays, or family gatherings

• Managing intimacy, parenting, financial stress, and long-term planning

In the workplace, relationship stress can also come from:

• Ambiguity in job roles or responsibilities

• Tension around recognition, success, or compensation

• Added complexity when coworkers are also friends or family

Yes, relationships are hard. But they can become easier. I will help you:

• Create healthy boundaries

• Communicate without it turning into confrontation

• Empathize with (and adjust to, when appropriate) another’s needs without feeling like you’re being walked on

• Experience your relationship as the partnership it’s intended to be
