Relationship Therapy San Francisco

Looking for Relationship Therapy in San Francisco?

Relationship therapy is for individuals who want to transform the way they navigate relationships or for folks who want to do deeper solo work outside of couples therapy.

Maybe you’re someone who identifies as more logical. When you see your partner frustrated about work or life at home, you go into fix-it mode and offer solutions so that the problem can go away. It's overwhelming for you when your partner is full of big emotions, and you might rather isolate, shut down, or sometimes fall into a defensive debate. You keep trying to make it better, but offering solutions or going silent isn't working.

Or maybe you're someone who approaches conversations more from the heart. You want to feel safe and loved, to feel heard, but it takes repeating yourself over and over and sometimes yelling to get through to your partner. It’s hard to stay calm when your body feels like it’s on fire and you don't know how to get through to your partner.

You both cherish moments where you feel connected, and you are reminded of how much you love each other. But the communication mishaps are unbearable now, and you need help to find a better way to relate so you aren't living in tension all the time.

Learning about your attachment style can be a transformative tool to help heal your relationships.

I help individual adults, who love their partners but struggle to connect, better understand their attachment style, so they can heal and have healthier relationships.

We will explore the source of why you react the way you do in your relationships—often from childhood and early relational wounds—and establish new and healthier responses and behaviors.

We will also work to develop awareness and understanding of how larger societal systems impact your well-being. You will learn how to communicate your emotional truth in a direct and vulnerable way that’s more effective in getting your needs met. 

Many of my clients find this deep personal work to be illuminating and transformative—they often tell me that they wish they had learned about this sooner.

Attachment-informed therapy such as Emotionally-focused therapy San Francisco helps move you toward secure relationships.

Through therapy, you can understand why you (and potentially your partner) react the way you do and make the needed changes you have longed for.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same old relationship patterns and to feel more connected with your partner, contact me here for a free 15-minute consultation to start the process of building a better relationship with yourself and your loved ones.

My relationship therapy in San Francisco specialties include building emotional literacy, vulnerability coaching, and understanding your attachment style to strengthen your relationships.
