Relationship-Oriented Therapy
Relationships are the stuff of life - we are constantly relating to others, ourselves, and our environment. HOW we relate to those things is largely dependent on our personal wiring mixed with our past experiences.

Sometimes, however, these learned relationships don’t serve us well. For example, if we relate to entering into a new partnership with intense jealousy and suspicion because of a past hurt, we may jeopardize making a connection with that person.
The magic of therapy, however, is that we can essentially use the therapeutic relationship to “relearn” some of those scripts. This allows us to re-relate to our environment and loved ones in a way that better serves us now. In our work together, we will explore your relationship patterns
