Communication & Relationship Therapy

The way you communicate with someone says a lot about who you are. Knowing how to appropriately communicate with others is vital to healthy relationships and career success. In therapy, we will address and change maladaptive communication patterns and learn healthier and easier ways to communicate with others. Therapy can increase relationship satisfaction, reduce misinterpretation, and can be the difference between keeping or losing your significant other or your job. Together we can identify the communication styles and behaviors that will be helpful in developing better relationships.

Sometimes, it is necessary to have both parties present to work on communication. Relationship counseling requires willingness to accept personal accountability of your own part in the conflict. Disagreements and arguments are normal, but when insults, criticism, intimidation, threats, humiliation, or stonewalling become commonplace, the negative communication can tear down the relationship and can enter the realm of verbal or emotional abuse. Therapy can also serve as a safe place for couples or families to come to learn to communicate appropriately and discuss heated or personal topics with the therapist as the mediator.  Discussing these issues in therapy can ease the fear of communicating with others and bring harmony back into their conflicting relationships. Let me help you rebuild and strengthen relationships through implementing healthy communication skills.
