Relationship Counseling
What’s the good news?
-
Healthy Relationships Exist.
Relationships can be the source of trauma, but they can also be the source of healing. When relational pain is acknowledged and shared in safe spaces, we can begin to heal. Therapy is a non-judgmental, unbiased, and compassionate environment for you to embrace your authentic self.
-
You Are Not Alone.
Most people start therapy after a difficult relationship (i.e. breakup, family conflict, toxic relationship, or stressful boss / workplace, etc.) that they need help working through. You’re very much not alone here. We even know from research that 25% of American children, by the age of 16, have experienced at least one traumatic event.

We Have Teachable Skills To Empower You.
You can feel like you again with tools to help you feel grounded, regulated, and safe. You’ll untangle patterns to get to a more controlled place that helps you move forward with confidence. Coping skills to help you anchor yourself amidst the storms instead of getting swept away by them.
Are you sick of trying to convince someone that what they’re doing, or lack of doing, is hurtful? Only to have them continue doing what’s hurtful, or better yet, they apologize and you let your gaurd down, and then they do it again. Are you tired of this cycle?
This cycle can cause harm to your self-worth and self-esteem. You probably get hooked, thinking that next time things will be better, different. Maybe your gut has told you something in this relationship, whether it be familial, romantic, friendship, isn’t right, but sometimes the idea of staying feels easier than leaving. Especially when you’re already emotionally drained. If you’re ready to stop being the bigger person at the expense of your mental health, then it’s time to take action on your healing journey today. Stop walking on egg-shells and start waking up anxiety-free.
