Therapy and Relationship Conflict
Difficulty navigating relationships, whether at home or at work often arise. Emotions sometimes erupt that leave us feeling very alone and isolated from even dearest friends or partners. While these feelings are bound to arise sometimes during our lives, if they become frequent, persistent, and interfere with the richness of daily living, it may be time to address issues of why relationships spark conflict so often. In therapy, we will work to help to alleviate emotional discomfort, develop skills to navigate emotional distress when it arises, gain understanding of underlying tensions and conflict, and learn about tools for effective communication so that you feel more connected to others in a very real way.
Relationship difficulties occur in partnerships, marriages, and work-settings, with your boss, with your employees, with friends and/or with colleagues. Together, we will identify powerful feelings when problems arise and what triggers troublesome responses in you. Examining what occurs in communication with others and developing skills for improving interactions and managing intense emotions are part of the therapeutic process.
I strive to help you become more conscious of how you are feeling when you relate with others so that in you can be your most authentic self in all your relationships, at home and at work.
