RELATIONSHIP THERAPY IN TUCSON
Reconnect to others as you reconnect to yourself.
Are you having trouble in your relationship with someone important?
Maybe you’re struggling with:
Your partner
A family member
A friend
A coworker
Overcoming an ex partner or friend
The same cycles and struggles keep happening.
You get caught up in patterns that create distance instead of closeness.
You don’t know exactly how to feel or express yourself with this person.
You read their mind or behaviors with negativity so you over-react or avoid.
You feel frustrated, angry, sad, and maybe even hopeless.
You’re not even sure if you want them in your life anymore
It’s complicated. You need both support and tools.
It’s time to either improve things or decide to move on.
You want to learn and are ready to do some work.
how i can help
Relationship therapy can help you reconnect and feel closer or solid with others.
Successful relationships take work. We’ve all heard that, but we don’t always know what to do. Most of us weren’t raised or show what healthy relationships look like from day to day.
It is so hard to be directly at odds or not feel like you’re on the same page with someone who matters. Both conflict and avoidance are detrimental to relationships. Yet it can feel impossible to break the cycles.
I help individuals decide what they want in relationships because there is a lot to consider. If you want to get closer to them, I will guide you through the process to look at how what you can do to improve both how you feel towards the person and how to communicate effectively with them.
You don’t need them to change because you have the power to make a positive difference in the relationship. I will show you how.
imagine if you…
Could talk about your feelings and differences respectfully
Set better boundaries and clear expectations with others
Were more open, honest, and connected in your relationships
I want you to know:
Change is possible.
I have tools to create the understanding and changes you’re looking for. We talk about the benefits and costs of many feelings and communication errors. We integrate a compassionate focus for you as well as the other person. We look at the most common patterns in and how to break the cycles. We practice communication skills to strengthen the relationship in ways you never could before.
Common questions about relationship therapy
-
No, I am trained to work with individuals.
There may be times when we decide to invite another person into a session with us so you can communicate with them with my support or share a new skill you are learning. This can be quite powerful and changing.
-
It all starts with focusing on a particular relationship or challenge you have with communicating.
You will learn new ways of thinking about relationship problems. We will explore past hurts and feelings of anger or blame.
I'll give you lots of empathy and understanding and help you decide if and what you want to change about yourself. As I teach you to communicate in a more compassionate and effective way it can break cycles of errors that benefit you both.
-
I am probably not the one for you. That it is such a painful situation to be in, and I feel compassion for you. I would need to know more about your situation.
Since I only work with individuals I would probably recommend you see someone trained to see you together, such as a therapist who is skilled at working with couples in high conflict.

Absolutely! I suggest that anyone working on communication or relationship work purchase Feeling Good Together by Dr. David Burns, either on Amazon or in a bookstore. It works for all kinds or relationships.
You may also want one of his other books, either Feeling Great or When Panic Attacks.
