Individual Therapy for People Wanting to Heal Their Relationships with Self and Others

As a systemic therapist I recognize the central role that relationships play in our lives and the impact they have on our well-being. Whether it's our romantic partnerships, family dynamics, friendships, or work relationships, our connections with others greatly influence our emotional, mental, and even physical health.

I also recognize the role our relationship with our SELF plays in our ability to form and maintain supportive relationship patterns (or unsupportive ones). Life experiences create coping mechanisms meant to protect the most vulnerable parts of us, however, they also often create symptoms of low self-worth, anxiety, depression, anger, and an overall lack of ability to form deep and connected relationships with others. In individual therapy we examine and Heal the Relationship with your SELF to avoid repeating the same patterns in relationships with others.

Relationship-focused individual therapy is designed to help you explore and navigate the complexities of your relationships, both with others and your SELF. Healthy and fulfilling relationships are essential for personal growth and overall happiness, therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
