Relational Therapy for Friendships
Friendship plays a central role in our lives, often fulfilling our desire for belonging and connection. However, society often prioritizes romantic relationships, leaving us without the necessary tools to nurture and repair friendships. This can result in painful misunderstandings and confusing friendship breakups. Over time, this can lead to a lack of trust and desire to build new relationships.
As a therapist, I recognize and value the importance of platonic intimacy and believe it deserves equal attention and care, alongside traditional romantic bonds. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for friends to explore their triggers and negative relational cycles. We will address ongoing conflicts, understand their origins, repair, and rebuild trust. Through exploring different perspectives and addressing past hurts, we will foster deep and lasting connection where each of you can feel understood and appreciated.
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Siblings
Sibling relationships are among the longest and most formative in our lives. As children, our siblings are often our first playmates, confidants, protectors, and rivals. Over time, these bonds can evolve into deep sources of connection—or, in some cases, lasting tension. While siblings share history, tradition, and family, they also carry unique identities and roles within the family system that can lead to conflict, miscommunication, or emotional distance.
Despite their importance, sibling relationships are often overlooked in therapy. Differences in values, unresolved childhood dynamics, or stress around the responsibility of caregiving roles can quietly erode closeness. You may feel like you’re constantly arguing, or struggling to reconnect after years of feeling misunderstood or overlooked.
Using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), we’ll explore patterns that keep you stuck. We’ll uncover the deeper emotions behind conflict—like feeling unseen, misunderstood, or dismissed—and begin to repair trust. By slowing down reactive cycles and fostering mutual understanding, we’ll help you move toward a more connected, supportive relationship where each sibling feels heard, valued, and respected.
