Relationships
Improving Communication and Deepening Connection
Do you sometimes find the emotional intensity of relationship conflicts overwhelming? Are you quick to anger, argue or blame? Does your heart race and your mind spiral into negative scenarios during disagreements? Perhaps you tend to avoid conflict all together, leading to feelings of resentment and frustration. Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of relationships. With the support of therapy, you can develop sure-fire tools and techniques that de-escalate heated situations, improve your distress tolerance and help you navigate disagreements with more closeness and acceptance.
The relationship you have with yourself is also key to your happiness yet is often overlooked or neglected. Learning how to prioritize your needs and challenge negative or critical self-talk can help improve your self-esteem, reduce self-doubt and inspire you to cultivate a more positive and connected relationship with yourself. Therapy offers a safe space to explore and understand patterns that lead to disconnection from yourself and your needs. Therapy also encourages a path forward to improved self-trust, self expression and self-advocacy.
Building Communication Skills that Empower
As we work together, I will help you face and break unhelpful patterns and longstanding difficulties in your relationships. You will learn how to quieten your inner critic and become more courageous and vulnerable. I will support you as you develop and practice new and effective communication skills that will empower you to face your fears and express your wants and needs with confidence and grace. You will learn how to slow down, become more present and calm during disagreements and resolve differences quickly.
I am committed to helping you forge healthier and stronger connections with yourself and your loved ones. I look forward to supporting you on your journey of self discovery and improving your relationships.
Invisible threads are the strongest ties.
