Relationships
When connection feels complicated
Relationships can be a source of deep connection, but they can also bring up frustration, confusion, and pain. You might be navigating a difficult dynamic with a partner, struggling with boundaries in your family, or feeling stuck in patterns that repeat in your friendships. Sometimes, the way we relate to others is shaped by early experiences we haven’t fully made sense of yet.
We offer therapy for adults in New York, New Jersey, and Florida who want to better understand themselves in the context of their relationships. Together, we’ll explore your patterns, your needs, and your boundaries—so you can move toward relationships that feel more secure, fulfilling, and aligned.
What Relationship Struggles Can Look Like
Relationship challenges come in many forms. You might be noticing:
Difficulty trusting others or expressing needs
Feeling anxious, avoidant, or stuck in unhealthy patterns
Struggles with intimacy or emotional vulnerability
Conflict that feels circular or unresolved
Losing yourself in relationships—or keeping people at arm’s length
Ongoing tension with family members or past relationship wounds
Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, therapy can help you better understand how you show up in relationships—and what might need to shift.
Small Shifts That Can Help (Right Now)
Here are a few gentle ways to start tuning into your relational patterns, even outside of therapy:
Notice your inner voice. How do you speak to yourself when conflict happens?
Practice naming your needs. Even if it feels awkward, try stating what you want or feel
Slow down your reactions. When emotions run high, pause before responding
Reflect on old patterns. Are you reenacting past dynamics in current relationships?
Stay grounded in your values. What do you want your relationships to reflect?
These steps aren’t about “fixing” you—they’re about bringing more awareness and care into how you relate.
Our Approach to Relationship Therapy
Our early experiences often shape the way we connect with others—and those patterns can follow us into adulthood. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand those roots and explore new, more intentional ways of relating. Our approach draws from:
Relational and trauma-informed therapy to explore the emotional and historical context of your patterns
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and REBT to identify and challenge beliefs that get in the way of connection
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation and communication skills
Mindfulness-based techniques to increase self-awareness and presence in relationships
Strengths-based work to support your ability to connect without losing yourself
Whether your relationships feel fragile, intense, disconnected, or overwhelming, therapy offers space to understand and shift those dynamics with intention.

We offer virtual therapy for adults in New York, New Jersey, and Florida, so you can explore your relationships from wherever feels most comfortable. Whether you’re looking to break unhelpful patterns, heal from past relationships, or build stronger ones moving forward, you’re not alone.
You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
