Relationships are often a struggle. Whether you are in a hetero or gay relationship, newly separated or divorced or single and dating, it is in your intimate relationships that you have an opportunity to discover the deepest truths about yourself and what it means to be human. Having an authentic, respectful, passionate relationship is a common goal for most of us but we all can struggle at times with our relationships.
Unresolved past and present issues often result in partners moving into unconscious, defensive patterns that can result in non-relational, hurtful behavior. They can also result in individuals accepting inappropriate behavior from their partner. A person can begin to feel betrayed not only by their partner but by love itself.
Therapy can help a couple or an individual move out of these defensive patterns and into a growth position. We start with building an awareness of your strengths and then develop tools and strategies that will help you move towards the vision and dreams you have for yourself and your relationship.
