Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy focuses on helping you strengthen connections and adapt to the evolving nature of your relationships. Whteher you are a parent, sibling, parent or family member, as relationships grow and change, understanding boundaries and clarifying roles becomes essential. All relationship challenges often originate from unmet attachment needs that create recurring patterns of conflict.
Emotion Focused Therapy:
In our sessions, we will work together to uncover these patterns, triggers, and unexpressed emotional needs, providing a foundation for repair and deepened connections. We will explore the dynamics that shape your relationships, with an emphasis on building and maintaining healthy boundaries to foster mutual respect and clarity. You’ll engage in experiential practices during and between sessions to support this journey, helping you develop tools to navigate changes in relationships.
This process nurtures deeper emotional bonds and provides a lasting sense of belonging, security, and support—essential as relationships continue to evolve.
Maintaining deep emotional connections with others provides a sense of
belonging, security, and support. Sue Johnson
