Do you struggle with setting and maintaining boundaries or communicating your needs?

Maybe you feel like you have to sacrifice so much of yourself to fit the mold your family has set for you, or perhaps you need help navigating the expectations your parents have for you that conflict with your own.

You may be experiencing more conflict in your relationships, or struggling to understand who you are and what you want. Perhaps you’re feeling like the morals and beliefs you were taught growing up don’t fit your view of the world.

You’re beginning to notice that whatever you’re experiencing is impacting every area of your life:

  • Conflict or tension in your relationships

  • Feeling like an imposter at work

  • Irritability or short temper

  • Anxiety or worry when attending events or gatherings

  • An undercurrent of sadness, depression, fear, or anxiety

  • Negative self talk, not being good enough, unworthiness, people pleasing

  • Discounting your wants and needs

Individual therapy for relationship issues can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can improve your relationships with others while also becoming more secure in who you are. You can feel self assured. You can set healthy boundaries and use effective communication. And I can help you get there.

Focusing therapy on relationship issues and identity helps you:

  • Identify the impacts of intergenerational trauma and work on healing it.

  • Challenge the negative ways you think about yourself so you can highlight your strengths.

  • Learn about and practice setting healthy boundaries and utilizing effective communication skills.

  • Get clearer on your wants, needs, desires, and purpose.

  • Manage triggers that come up at work, at home, or socially. 

  • Improve your mood so you can live a life that is authentic and culturally balanced.

I’ll support you through this process by tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to individual relationship therapy comes from a place of having been there, of understanding, with the desire to help you create a balance that allows for you to feel good without having to sacrifice relationships with the people who are most important to you.

It’s time to settle into who you are and build the relationships that help you get there.

    Individual work gives you the chance to create the relationships you want with the people who are important to you by giving space to the underlying issues instead of working on the surface problems that tend to come up in couples or family work.
