Relationship Counseling

When working with couples, families, and polycules, my first goal is to help each member to reduce specific behaviors that are contributing to pain in the relationship. Factors such as working late hours, overspending, perceived flirting with others, and feeling distant can lead to repeated arguments. We identify these areas and create a temporary agreement to address them. Then we’ll focus on improving communication, reducing blame, increasing understanding, and identifying strategies that help to ensure long-term relationship satisfaction.

Some people decide to go deeper into this work through a process of multi-generational healing. This is a therapy process that focuses on early life experiences, birth parent factors, and attachment styles. Together we explore relationships in your life and work through sources of anxiety, sadness, and loss. We also identify and move towards those relationships that have been warm and supportive. Clients who delve into this deeper work may experience changes in relationships with their partner, family members, friends, and co-workers
