I believe in working with people to help them see their potential and assist them in releasing emotions that are difficult to process. If you’re here trying to figure out this adulting thing, let me help you navigate these rough waters and find the calm in the midst of a raging sea.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
