Are you looking to heal from past hurt? Understand why you keep ending up in the same types of relationships, or stuck in the same patterns? Maybe you’re looking to manage mental health symptoms, or process stress in your life.

Sometimes individual therapy is recommended before beginning relational therapy - it’s often necessary to work through some of our own struggles before we can commit to effectively participating in any kind of group therapy.

Individual therapy is an important way to get to know yourself a little better.

Maybe your problem involves someone else - perhaps you’re struggling in your relationship with a partner, family member, friend, or some other relationship. In that case, our work is best accomplished with that person’s involvement.

In my role as a relational therapist, I may give advice, coach clients, or offer my feedback about how to solve the problem. This is often uncomfortable, and quite vulnerable. I urge you to stay open and curious about a new perspective.

Relational therapy is most effective in cases where you want to maintain your emotional connection in some way to the other person.

Do you think you would benefit from having a neutral, non-biased professional facilitating a dispute you’re having? Facilitative mediation supports clients in coming to their own agreement on how to handle a dispute.

Mediation is similar to therapy in that it supports clients in solving problems, but it’s different in several key ways. In my role as a mediator, I will refrain from offering any feedback or advice, and instead support you through communicating productively about your dispute.

Ultimately, how you choose to agree to resolve your dispute will be 100% up to you.
