Each goal achieved, or not achieved, is impacted by a person's use of relationship skills.
Most of my clients come to therapy because they are struggling with how they think and feel about themselves and their relationships. What most discover, is the importance of the relationship they have with Self. They come to accept that the most important relationship to cultivate and grow is the one with themselves. If this sounds familiar or makes some things in your living make sense, when you're ready, let's talk!

Rosalinda Weisz believes that what makes us suffer is what we do not know about ourselves.
Being aware of those hidden parts of ourselves allows us to make better choices, based on
reality and without the distortions triggered by painful experiences and irrational beliefs.
Mrs. Weisz believes that every person is a unique individual and she strives to understand and
respect the particular world view offered by every patient in a gentle, honest and positive
manner.
The most important factor in every treatment is the development of a patient-therapist
relationship that offers a safe context for change.

Imagine if you could revitalize your relationship, fan the embers of intimacy, cultivate an affirming atmosphere of great friendship, love, grace, and respect in your relationship.
Sometimes, life happens, and we experience heartaches, anxieties, broken promises, betrayals, conflicts, disillusionment or we feel alone and abandoned. At such times, we need someone we can trust with our deepest fears and concerns; someone to listen to us with respect, someone to lean on for clarity, guidance, and support in a way that strengthens us and improve our sense of purpose. It is scary enough reaching out to a counselor, but even more frightening is the challenge of finding the right counselor to trust with your concerns.

Life has a unique way of presenting opportunities for growth and change. These opportunities manifest themselves as challenges that no matter how great or small, lead to a journey on what appears to be a dimly lit road less traveled.

We will form a comfortable and collaborative therapeutic relationship that will promote growth, healing and will strengthen your foundation of hope.

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.
