Relationship Challenges

It is a passion of mine to work with individuals on how they approach issues and challenges in their relationships. Whether it be relationships with a parent, intimate partner, or co-worker, there are many different dynamics, emotions, and factors at play. I help clients to understand their own reactions, develop helpful communication skills, validate hurt feelings, understand hurtful and/or abusive behaviours and manage boundaries in order to cultivate the relationships they want. Every relationship is a two-way street but we can only ever focus on what we can control. Adopting a growth mindset and focusing on our own locus of control in relationships can be a very powerful place to start and at the same time, there can only be so much that one person can do. Counselling can be a helpful support in navigating and making sense of the sometimes very nuanced dynamics in relationships.

One reason why working on relationship difficulties is such a passion for me is that when helpful adjustments can be made in relationships, it can make a world of sustainable difference for people.
